See text Microstylifer (Vacelet, 1969) Latrunculia is a genus of demosponges.

It is well known for the diverse array of chemical compounds found in its species, including the latrunculins, which are named after this genus.

The skeleton is formed by siliceous spicules in which one end is rounded.

These arranged in an irregular network of loose tracts or bundles, supporting a crust of discorhabds, a microsclere typical of the genus.
