Skeleton:
Ectosome: Dermal membrane under which are thick palisades of Subtylotes, mostly perpendicular to the surface.
Choanosome: Thick, dominant reticulation of bundles of 3-5 Styles- Acanthostyles. Tracts only occur very near the palisades of Subtylotes.
Distribution: Central California.
Depth: Deep water.
Note: Easily confused with Lissodendoryx firma. Could be a variant of that species.
