Status Telford & Mooi (1986) argued that the suffix -oidea should be restricted in used for superfamilies and the echinoderm class level ending in -oidea should be changed to avoid confusion. They therefore proposed the names Asteroides, Ophiuroides, Echinoides, Holothuroides, and Crinoides as new class level names for the extant echinoderm classes. The new names were not widely adopted by the scientific community, however. [details]
