Genus LeuceTa Haeckel, 1872

Type species: Leuceta primigenia Haeckel, 1872 .

Diagnosis: ‘ Leucetidae with a homogeneous organisation of the wall and a typical leuconoid aquiferous system. Tere is neither a clear distinction between the cortex and the choanoskeleton, nor the presence of a distinct layer of subcortical inhalant cavities.

Te atrium is frequently reduced to a system of exhalant canals that open directly into the osculum’ (Borojević et al. 2002).
