FIGURE 16. Cladorhiza similis Ridley & Dendy, 1886. A. Type BMNH 1887-5-2-142. B. Spicule preparation showing larger subtylostyles, shorter subtylostyles and unguiferous tridentate anisochelae. C. Section through base of the body to which the filaments emerge. The lower filament no longer has a endosome and the large Mycalostyles can be seen. D. Section through base of the body to which the filaments emerge, magnified to illustrate the anisochelae and subtylostyles in the endosome of the filaments. E. Apical surface of the sponge body showing the anisochelae on the surface above the subtylostyles. F. T. S. of the filament showing the anisochelae in the ectosome and the subtylostyles and mycalostyles in the endosome.
