Family names given for each species.

brevis View in CoL , Turbinolia View in CoL –Deshayes in Ladoucette, 1834: pl. 13, figs 1-3. — Type locality: Alpes, France. —Type age:Eocene (Priabonian).— Type material: MNHN.F.J08000, neotype. — Current status: synonym of Trochocyathus irregularis (Deshayes, 1834) ( Milne-Edwards 1857: 45) View in CoL [ Caryophylliidae Dana, 1846 View in CoL ].

brevissima, Astrea View in CoL – Deshayes in Ladoucette, 1834: pl. 13, figs 13- 14. — Type locality: Alpes, France. — Type age: Eocene (Priabonian). Rhizangia brevissima View in CoL (Deshayes in Ladoucette, 1834), the type species (monotypy) of Rhizangia Milne Edwards & Haime, 1848 View in CoL ( Milne-Edwards 1857: 611-612) [ Merulinidae Milne-Edwards & Haime, 1857 View in CoL ]. The generic name was misspelled by Deshayes in the caption as “ Astraea View in CoL ”. Löser (2012: 8) stated that the type specimen of A. brevissima “Deshayes, 1820 View in CoL ” [sic, 1834] is lost and that the neotype established by Barta-Calmus (1973) is not available at the former Sorbonne collection in Paris (now at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie and the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris). Baron-Szabo & Cairns (2016: 1) stated that this neotype would be invalid according to ICZN [Code] Article 75.3”. However, Barta-Calmus (1973) is an unpublished Ph.D. thesis and hence not an available publication for purposes of designating a neotype or any other nomenclatural act (ICZN Code Articles 7, 8), so that Article 75.3 does not apply (P. Bouchet & G. Rosenberg, pers. comm., August 4, 2020). — Current status: Rhizangia brevissima View in CoL (Deshayes in Ladoucette, 1834) ( Löser et al. 2021: 266-269, figs 9.1-9.4).

Agassiz & Desor (1846, 1847a, 1847b) described a number of fossil echinoderms, including some from Algeria, which they attributed to Deshayes. Although the “Géologie” volume of the Exploration scientifique de l’Algérie includes a title page listing a chapter by Deshayes, this chapter was never published. One of us (Kabat) has seen (in a private collection) several hand-colored plates of fossil echinoids from Algeria, including some of these new species, evidently prepared for the Deshayes chapter. It is likely that Agassiz and Desor saw the Deshayes specimens and/or the illustrations, which they used in publishing their descriptions of the Algerian fossils first identified by Deshayes. While these names are credited to Deshayes, the brief descriptions have no indication that Deshayes was involved in their preparation. The material seems to be from collections made by Deshayes in Algeria. Although some subsequent authors (e.g., Cotteau et al. 1881: 58, 88; Lambert & Thiéry 1924: 280, 411, 501) attributed these species to Deshayes, they should be attributed solely to “Agassiz & Desor.”

africanus , Hemipneustes View in CoL – Agassiz & Desor, 1847b: 31, ex Deshayes ms. — Current status: Hemipneustes africanus Agassiz & Desor, 1847 [ Hemipneustidae Lambert, 1917 View in CoL ].

costulatus , Nucleolites View in CoL – Agassiz & Desor, 1847a: 155, ex Deshayes ms. The material seems to be in part from collections made by Deshayes in Algeria [ Nucleolitidae View in CoL ].

delamarrei , Cyphosoma View in CoL – Agassiz & Desor, 1846: 352, ex Deshayes ms. — Type species (SD Lambert & Thiéry 1911) of Rachiosoma Pomel, 1883 View in CoL . — Current status: Rachiosoma delamarrei ( Agassiz & Desor, 1846) (A. B. Smith & Wright 1996: 290, text-fig. 101) [ Glyphocyphidae Duncan, 1889 View in CoL ].

fourneli , Hemiaster View in CoL – Agassiz & Desor, 1847b: 17-18, ex Deshayes ms. — Type species (OD) of Mecaster Pomel, 1883 View in CoL . — Current status: Mecaster fourneli (Agassiz & Desor, 1847) (A. B. Smith, in A. B. Smith & Bengtson 1991: 61-62) [ Hemiasteridae H. L. Clark, 1917 View in CoL ].

renouxii, Micraster View in CoL – Agassiz & Desor, 1847b: 23, ex Deshayes ms. The material seems to be from collections made by Deshayes in Algeria [ Micrasteridae Lambert, 1920 View in CoL ].

serialis , Holectypus View in CoL – Agassiz & Desor, 1847a: 146, ex Deshayes ms. Indeed, the text, which contains no diagnosis or description, could be interpreted as establishing a nomen nudum. The material seems to be from collections made by Deshayes in Algeria. — Current status: Coenoholectypus serialis (Agassiz & Desor, 1847) ( Rose & Olver 1985: 84) [ Holectypidae Lambert, 1900 View in CoL ].
