starting point. NEAT (North East Atlantic Taxa) are
Class Enteropneusta preliminary check-lists, covering Scandinavian marine
Family Harrimunlidae animal taxa. The chapter by FJ. Fell on Echinodermata
Harrimania in Parker ( 1 982) was used as the systematic framework.
kupJferi (von Willemoes-Suhm, 1 87 1 ) A The asteroids are mainly listed from the recent
SaccogJossus monograph on Atlantic species by Clark & Downey
horsl; BrambeH & Goodhart, 1 9 4 1 A ( 1 992). Mortensen ( 1 927) is used as a basal source for
kowalevskii (Agassiz, 1 873) A
the other groups. Additions from several other sources

have been made, and the electronic part of the Zoological
pygmaeus Hinrichs & Jacobi, 1 93 8

Record (covering recent decades) has been utilised.
Stereobalanus However, examination of the reports from the large
canadensis (Spengel, 1 893) A expeditions (except the Norwegian North Atlantic and
Prologlossus the (ngolf) and other literature since WWII, may add to
kaehleri (Caullery & Mesnil, 1900) A the species list.
Family Ptychoderidae The compiler is generally interested in marine fauna, but
Balanoglossus is not a specialist on any Echinoderm taxon, so there are
clavigerus delle Chiaje, 1 829 AM
certainly several omissions and lapses i n this draft list.
Glossobalanus
elongatus Spengel, 1904 M The assistance of experts in groups of Echinodermata
marginalus Meek, 1 922 A was thus invaluable. Dr Sabine StOhr, Stockholm,
minutus Kowalevsky, 1 866 AM assisted w ith ophiuroid names, Dr Claude Massin,
sarniensis (Koehler, 1 886) A Brussels, assisted with the holothurians and added 9
Family SpengeJidae omitted species of this taxon to the list. Dr Andrey
Glandiceps Gebruk, Moscow, together with his friends Alexander
ta/aboti (Marion, 1 876) M Mironov and Alexei Smirnov kindly helped with several
Family il/cer/ae sedls corrections and additions to the holothurians, the
Planctosphaera crinoids, the echinoids and the genus Caulaster among
pelagica (Spengel, 1 932) A the asteroids. Prof. Dusan Zavodnik, Rovinj, Croatia,
Class Pterobrancbia provided severa l corrections, new distribution notes
(particularly for the Adriatic Sea area), information about
Family Rhabdopleuridae
Rhabdopleura
synonyms, and added a few omitted species. Dr Mateo
compacta Hincks, 1 880 A Garrido, Gran Canada, provided additional records from
normani Allmann, 1 869 AM the Canaries.
Authors of most genus and species names in the list
below have been found, and most often also the years of
description, but with several exceptions. Also, some of
the years of authority in this list may be wrong, because
different sources often have different opinions regarding
which year a certain species is described (e.g. gen.
Poliometra Clark; the original publication: 1 923, Neave:
1 924, McKenzie in Howson & Picton 1 997: 1 9 1 3; in this
case the year from the original publ ication must be
correct). Thus, further study of the primary literature
may improve the accuracy of this list.
