- Genus Docosaccus Topsent, 1910 Type species: Docosaccus ancoratus Topsent, 1910 Genus diagnosis. Lophophytous, body sac-like or plate-like, with thin walls fixed by several tufts of anchorlike basalia or bundles of diactins surrounding a giant hexactin. Choanosomal spicules are diactins, rarely hexactins and their derivatives. Largest choanosomal spicules are hexactins with long tangential rays or rays of varying size. Dermalia are hexactins, atrialia are hexactins or pentactins. Microscleres are hexactins, hemihexasters, hexasters, floricomes, and probably discohexasters (Tabachnick 2002 a: 1395–1396, emended). Remarks. The diagnosis of the genus is emended to include the plate-like gross morphology, anchoring spicules, and atrial pentactins that occur in the new species.
