“…C. ( P. ) atratus is well known from Kenya in the western Indian Ocean (Samyn 2003) and the Andaman Sea in the eastern Indian Ocean (Putchakarn & Sonchaeng 2004; Sastry 2007), suggesting that it could potentially occur in Sri Lanka. However, it has not been recorded from the southeastern Arabian Sea (Parameswaran et al 2017).…”

The first recorded regular echinoid species from Sri Lanka, “Salmacis virgulatus” (now known as S. virgulata L. Agassiz in L. Agassiz & Desor, 1846), was listed by Agassiz & Desor (1846). Knowledge of Sri Lankan regular echinoids continued to advance until the end of the 19th century. However, there is a gap in knowledge between the mid-20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries due to a lack of systematic studies, with the exception of two checklists published by the IUCN Red List in 2006 and 2012. In the present study, we compiled a species list combining published data and new data based on fieldwork between 2013 and 2015. Echinoids were sampled by snorkelling, diving, examination of fisheries bycatch, and collection of tests from beaches. The updated species list presented in this study includes 39 regular echinoids belonging to 28 genera, nine families, and five orders. Phyllacanthus imperialis (Lamarck, 1816) and Temnopleurus toreumaticus (Leske, 1778), which were not recorded during the last 90 years, were confirmed to still occur in Sri Lanka by the present study. We develop an updated species list of regular echinoids to form a basis for future systematic work. The study recommends further investigation to evaluate the status of deep-sea species and additional field work off the northern and eastern coasts of Sri Lanka.

“…This species is also known from Kenya, the Arabian Sea, and South Africa (Clark & Courtman-Stock 1976). P. bursarium is well known from the southeastern Arabian Sea (Parameswaran et al 2017) and the Andaman Sea (Sastry 2007). P. indiana is recorded from the Indian Ocean from eastern Africa and Madagascar (Clark & Rowe 1971).…”

“…Luidia maculata was reported for the first time in Pakistan in the survey study of Haque (1969). Luidia harwicki is a common species of Luidiidae that has been recorded from the northwest of the Indian Ocean (Mortensen, 1940;Clark & Rowe, 1971;Esfandiarpour, 2014;Parameswaran et al, 2017). It can be easily observed on the sandy shores of Chabahar Bay at low tide.…”

As a part of the research program about echinoderms of the Gulf of Oman, Luidia maculata Müller et Troschel, 1842, and L. hardwicki Gray, 1840 (Asteroidea Luidiidae) were collected from the sandy shores of Chabahar Bay along the north part of the gulf during the period from 2015 to 2016. Here, L. maculata is recorded for the first time from the Gulf of Oman and Iranian waters. Luidia hardwicki has been previously reported from this area. Details concerning the identification and distribution range of these species are provided.

“…Further, there is limited work to update the checklist of marine invertebrates in the country (Parameswaran et al 2017;Samuel et al 2017). Monographic revisions allow identifying missing data, the need for new collections and additional data, and updated taxonomic status of a species (Dayrat 2011).…”
