| Classification and/or Status | Objective junior synonym of Echinodiscus Leske, 1778. |
| Remarks | First used in Leske (1778: p. 197) where the name "Echinoglycus irregularis" appears (only) as translation of Van Phelsum\'s "Onregelmatige Egelkoek" in the discussion of Echinodiscus bisperforatus. It thus has to be regarded as nomen nudum. Gray, J. E. 1855. Catalogue of the Recent Echini of the British Museum. London, British Museum. |
