A new record of the echinoid Echinoneus cyclostomus and additional information on Cassidulus caribaearum for Puerto Rico
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 November 2012
Abstract
We report for the first time the occurrence of the irregular sea urchin Echinoneus cyclostomus for Puerto Rico. This report increases the known regional distribution range of the species and the number of Puerto Rico shallow water echinoids to seventeen. In addition, we report a new locality for Cassidulus caribaearum, the other echinoid recently recorded for the island.
