dictyonalian.

Brit.

/ˌdɪktɪəˈneɪlɪə/, U.S.

/ˌdɪktiəˈneɪljə/,

/ˌdɪktiəˈneɪliə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin dictyonalia.

Etymology: < scientific Latin dictyonalia (neuter plural) < ancient Greek δίκτυον net (see dictyo- comb. form) + scientific Latin -alia (see -al suffix¹). Compare dictyonal adj.Quot. 1887 translates an unpublished German text.

Zoology.

With plural agreement: the spicules that are fused together to form the siliceous skeleton of a dictyonine sponge. Occasionally also (with singular agreement): the skeleton so formed.

1939 Jrnl. Paleontol. 13 7/1 The suggestion of a space-lattice dictyonalia in the inner fill would make the assignment to the Dictyonina necessary.

1963 Jrnl. Paleontol. 37 212 Correct analysis of structure requires reference to linear dictyonal strands, formed from series of dictyonalia.

2007 Adv. Marine Biol. 52 72 The longitudinal rays of dictyonalia are aligned in a continuous series to form major longitudinal structural components of the primary framework.
