Taxonomic remark Schultz (2011: p. 967) stated: "S.A. Lockhart (pers. comm.) is not convinced that Austrocidaris pawsoni is really an Austrocidaris, but rather a Ctenocidaris: E.g. the ocular plates are widely exsert, whereas in the other Austrocidaris species they are broadly insert. Furthermore the long secondary spines on the apical
system are not typical for an apical brooder. The whole genus Ctenocidaris needs to be revised." [details]
