H. B. Fell (1963) described two species [Spatangus thor and Spatangus beryl] from Foveaux Strait, between the south coast of the South Island and Stewart Island, New Zealand. […] We are unable to determine any character, or set of characters, in these larger specimens which support the justification of retaining either of Fell's (1963) species.
