Original description: "At the same meeting, also, Mr. Leach gave a description of a new British species of Echinus, which he had observed in plenty at Bantry Bay in Ireland, and which he proposed to call E. lithophagus, from the circumstance of its forming a small hollow for itself in the substance of the submarine rocks." [details] Status: The "original description" does not include any description or definition and thus fails to satisfy the provisions of ICZN 4th ed. Article 12.1. [details] | |||||||
