Arbacioida

Arbacioida are an order of sea urchins, consisting of a single extant family, the Arbaciidae. They are distinguished from other sea urchins by the presence of five separate plates around the anus.

This order includes about 50 species (roughly 24 extant) divided into 14 genera:

  • Arbacia Gray, 1835
  • Arbaciella Mortensen, 1910
  • Arbia Cooke, 1948
