Remarks | This test was first described by Lambert (1937) under the name Firmacidaris precincta, a taxon based on a spine. As discussed by Vadet & Nicolleau (2005), Lambert was wrong to associate this test with the spines. In test and spine morphology it conforms to Roseicidaris only it is a much larger species.
