From editor or global species database
Taxonomy Transferred from Superfamily Cidaridea to Superfamily Histocidaridea on 31/5/2012 because new results based on molecular analyses of the COI and 28S genes by Brosseau et al. (2012) indicate that Psychocidaris is more closely related to Histocidaris than to members of the family Cidaridae. [details]
