Type Species

Kokia borealis Perch-Nielsen, 1988

Remarks

Varol & Girgis (1994) suggested that Kokia is possibly an ascidian spicule, mainly based on the morphological similarities between the weakly birefringent Kokia curvata and the didemnid ascidian spicules (all has axial c-axis orientation).

However, the type species Kokia borealis is non-birefringent and morphologically similar to some spicules of Neanthozoites/Cyctodytes produced by Polycitoridae (unfortunately, we don't have information about their optical properties).
