From editor or global species database
Type locality ‘Small sea beach about three miles [~4.8 km] north of Port Jackson heads’ (Ramsay 1885, footnote on p. 23); Sydney Harbour, NSW, Australia; no depth recorded. As described by Ramsey, a small sea beach 3 miles [~4.8 km] north of the Port Jackson Heads could refer to Collins Beach (33°48′31.0″S, 151°17′28.6″E), Store Beach (33°48′42.1″S, 151°17′22.9″E) or Little Manly (33°48′24.6″S, 151°17′14.1″E). To provide as close a location as possible we use the coordinates of Port Jackson (33°49′S, 151°16′E) as the type locality. [details]

Diagnosis McLaren et al. (2023: p. 751): A species of Tripneustes with ambulacral primary tubercles typically occurring ambitally on every third to fourth plate (see Fig. 2; very rarely there are cases in which four subsequent ambulacral plates without primary tubercles occur at the ambitus, e.g. Fig. 2, number 6, left column of ambulac?rum); flattened test ranging from ~45 to 60% height of the test diameter; large peristomal opening (~25% of TD) with?out sunken margin; presence of one to two plates for every four ambulacral plates occluded from perradial suture, giv?ing the perradial suture a unique irregular zigzag (except in specimens <80 mm TD); primary series of interambulacral tubercles continuous from peristome to apex; tubercles large; secondary interambulacral tuberculation reduced above ambitus. [details]Type locality ‘Small sea beach about three miles [~4.8 km] north of Port Jackson heads’ (Ramsay 1885, footnote on p. 23); Sydney Harbour, NSW, Australia; no depth recorded. As described by Ramsey, a small sea beach 3 miles [~4.8 km] north of the Port Jackson Heads could refer to Collins Beach (33°48′31.0″S, 151°17′28.6″E), Store Beach (33°48′42.1″S, 151°17′22.9″E) or Little Manly (33°48′24.6″S, 151°17′14.1″E). To provide as close a location as possible we use the coordinates of Port Jackson (33°49′S, 151°16′E) as the type locality. [details]
