Description

Three specimens of a deep-water diadematid echinoid Eremopyga denudata (de Meijere, 1903) were recently collected from Okinawa-jima Island, the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan. This species has been recorded from the Timor Sea, the Philippines and the Bali Sea. In Japan, this species had only been previously recorded from Shibushi Bay, Kagoshima Prefecture, and no detailed morphological description was shown for the specimen. This study provides the first detailed morphological description for Japanese individuals and some ecological information observed underwater and in aquarium.
