Echinocardium is a genus of sea urchins of the family Loveniidae, known as heart urchins. The name is derived from the Greek ἐχῖνος (echinos, "hedgehog, urchin") and καρδία (kardia, "heart").[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]The genus was first described in 1825 by John Edward Gray,[3][4] and the type species is Spatangus pusillus Leske, 1778 by subsequent designation.[3][5]
In 1836, the genus Amphidetus was described by Louis Agassiz,[3][6] and is now considered a synonym of Echinocardium.[3][7][1]
