Skeleton:
Ectosome: some Oxeas at surface of dermal layer; others, stand on end and pierce the surface. Sigmas and spongin abundant in surface layer. Subdermal cavities present.
Vertical unispicular and paucispicular tracts descend into the choanosome with horizontal and diagonal cross-spicules. Deeper in the choanosome a greater number of confused spicules occur, but a basic isodictyal pattern remains..
Distribution: Central California.
Depth: Intertidal to subtidal.
Note: Was Sigmadocia sp. De Weerdt, 2002 places Sigmadocia in Haliclona (Gellius). This species needs to be reviewed.
