Genus Leucotreton View in CoL gen. nov.
Type species: Leucotreton kurilense sp. nov.
Diagnosis. Sycanthidae with coalescent radial tubes lined with numerous small round choanocyte chambers. Distal parts of radial tubes supported by tangential triactines that form meshwork perforated by large inhalant cavities.
Etymology. The new generic name is derived from the ancient Greek word λευκός (leucus, light in colour, white) and the second stem with the flexion of the name Dermatreton . Gender is neuter.
Differential diagnosis. Leucotreton gen. nov. closely resembles Dermatreton , but differs in having an aquiferous system intermediate between leuconoid and sylleibid (rather than syconoid in Dermatreton ). For details, see discussion under the description of L. kurilense sp. nov.
