Taxonomic characters

-colonies composed of 16 or 32 cells, with the anterior tier of cells markedly reduced in size in 32-celled colonies

Morphology / Structure

-cells are arranged in distinct tiers within a confluent double-layered gelatinous envelope

-when daughter colony formation occurs, the small anterior cells may remain vegetative or may divide; if division occurs, it is delayed and the resulting colonies posses 4, 8 or 16 cells (Goldstein 1964)

 

 

Life history

- heterogamous and dioecious; biflagellate sperm in packets and biflagellate eggs
