Melbourne : CSIRO Australia xiii 510 pp. [Date published 30 May 1995] (Agassiz (1972) gave a description of Stephanocidaris and included the species Cidarites bispinosa Lamarck, 1816. [434] lists Stephanocidaris sensu A. Agassiz, 1872 as a synonym of Prionocidaris A. Agassiz, 1863 and [161] explains the problem of recognising Cidarites geranoides Lamarck, 1816 as the type species)
