DIAGNOSIS. — Sycettidae with a central atrial tube decorated with short, completely separate radial tubes. There is no defined inhalant aquiferous system. The skeleton of the radial tubes is composed of triactines and tetractines, and diactines may be found in the distal cones. DESCRIPTION The genus Sycetta, as defined by Dendy & Row (1913), comprised three species described under the names Sycetta primitiva Haeckel, 1872, S. sagittifera Haeckel, 1872 and Sycaltis conifera Haeckel, 1872. Dendy & Row 1913 designated Sycetta primitiva as the type species. Haeckel (1872) characterized this species by the presence of regular, equiangular and equiradiate spicules, which are clearly described and represented as such in the corresponding figure. In the same figure, Haeckel (1872: vol. III, pl. 41) shows that the choanocytes are closer to the basinucleate than to the apinucleate type. Although Haeckel’s descriptions may be taken with some reservation, and S. primitiva has not been observed since that time, the original description indicates quite clearly that this is a calcinean sponge, and should be classified as a typical member of the family Levinellidae (Borojevic & Boury-Esnault 1986). Haeckel (1872) classified Sycetta primitiva in the subgenus Sycettaga , and we propose to transfer it as a genus to the family Levinellidae, with a single species Sycettaga ( Sycetta ) primitiva Haeckel, 1872.

This species displays all the characteristics of the genus as understood by Dendy (1893), Dendy & Row (1913), and subsequent authors.
