Genus AscoleuceTa Dendy & Frederick, 1924
Type species: Ascoleuceta compressa Dendy & Frederick, 1924 .
Diagnosis: Leucetidae with copiously branched and anastomosed choanocyte tubes covered by a well-developed cortex formed mainly by spicules measuring at least twice the size of the spicules present in the choanocyte tubes. Tese tubes are, in part, organized parallel to each other. Te exhalant aquiferous system is represented by a well-developed atrium delimited by a membrane with no choanoderm, supported by a specific skeleton of triactines and/or tetractines. Apical actine of the tetractines is without spines. Aquiferous system is solenoid (modified from Cavalcanti et al. 2013).
