Original Description

Thalassosphærida with numerous large alveoles in the calymma (but not in the central capsule), and with numerous branched or compound spicula in the calymma.

Etymology:
From the Greek lampoxanthium = scum-burdock

Extra details from original publication
The genus Lampoxanthium differs from the foregoing, Thalassoplancta, by the composite form of the spicula, which are not simple needles, but radiate or geminate, or branched in different forms; the former stands therefore in the same relation to the latter as the social Belonozoum to Sphærozoum. The spicula of some species of Lampoxanthium are identical with those of some species of Sphærozoum, so that the latter may be derived from the former by forming colonies. The large central capsule is enveloped by a very voluminous alveolated calymma, and includes a large central nucleus with numerous nucleoli.
