Taxonomic remark Higgins (1977, p. 21): "During the course of the present investigation, I discovered that the name E. brevispinosa was first used by Metschnikoff (1869: 190), corrected to E. brevispinosus by Panceri (1876: 4), and synonomized with E. dujardinii by Zelinka (1928: 228). Since I inadvertently applied this preoccupied name to a species from the Red Sea (Higgins, I966a), I now propose that it be replaced by the substitute name, Echinoderes brevicaudatus." [details]
