Description. Test circular, slightly flattened both orally and aborally (TD = 3.3 to 45.4 mm; TH = 1.4 to 30.2 mm) ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A–C, G, H). Apical system hemicyclic, uniformly tuberculate ( Fig. 3G, J View FIGURE 3 ). Periproct pentagonal, covered by tuberculated plates that decrease in size towards the anus ( Fig. 3G, J View FIGURE 3 ). Ambulacra narrow and slightly sinuous ( Fig. 3G, H, L View FIGURE 3 ). Interambulacra wide, with clear vertical series of primary spines ( Fig. 3G, H, M View FIGURE 3 ). Ambulacral plating simple ( Fig. 3L View FIGURE 3 ). Interambulacral plates bearing single, perforate and non-crenulate primary tubercle, surrounded by many scrobicular tubercles ( Fig. 3M View FIGURE 3 ). Primary spines thick and cylindrical ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A–C), arranged into 10 vertical series, ending in crown of small projections. Secondary spines short and compressed. Oral-most primary spines often banded dirty white and light pinkish. Peristomial membrane densely covered by flat and imbricated small plates arranged in vertical parallel series ( Fig. 3K View FIGURE 3 ). Tube foot spicules are rods with several blunt short spines and elongated flattened plates with perforations restricted to middle and one side ( Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 ).

Pedicellariae. Tridentate and globiferous pedicellariae spread over the whole test, the latter more numerous around the primary spines and peristome. Fistulate globiferous pedicellariae small, without a neck. Valve oval, with serrated margin, and denticulate foramen ( Fig. 3F View FIGURE 3 ). Tridentate pedicellariae short, without a neck. Valve long, narrow, with denticulate margin ( Fig. 3D View FIGURE 3 ).

Colour. Ground colour of the test is light brown to red-brown. The muscle bases of all secondary spines are brown to red-brown, spine are shafts dirty white, and the distal ends are lightly tinged with light brown ( Hendler et al. 1995). Naked test greenish, except for pore zones, which are white.

Distribution. North Carolina, Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Cuba, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil ( Hendler et al. 1995; Alvarado et al. 2008; Solís-Marín et al. 2013; Kroh & Mooi 2016). In Brazil from PE, AL, BA, SP, RJ, and SC, including Abrolhos Archipelago, São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago, Fernando de Noronha, Trindade and Martin Vaz Islands ( H.L. Clark 1907; Tommasi 1958a; Brito 1962; Lima-Verde 1969; Tommasi & Aron 1988; Fernandes et al. 2002; Magalhães et al. 2005; Netto et al. 2005; Manso et al. 2008; Correia & Sovierzoski 2009; Xavier 2010; Martins et al. 2018). This is the first record of this species for the coast of Paraíba. From 0 to 800 m, but most commonly in less than 50 m ( Hendler et al. 1995).

Remarks. The genus Eucidaris contains five living and three fossil species ( Kroh & Mooi 2016). In their phylogenetic study of the genus, Lessios et al. (1999) did not find differences between E. tribuloides from the west Atlantic and E. tribuloides africana , from Africa. Their results suggest that Atlantic Eucidaris belong to a single panmictic unit over the entire western Atlantic ( Lessios et al. 1999). No morphological differences were found among the specimens in the present study. However, Bernasconi (1955) observed some variations in the aspect of ambulacral and interambulacral areas and in the ocular plate/periproct ratio in specimens sampled from the Brazilian coast. The size and thickness of primary spines in E. tribuloides can vary with habitat ( Hendler et al. 1995). In high hydrodynamic environments, the spines tend to be short and thick, while in low energy environments they are longer and thin. However, this trend was not observed in the specimens examined, since they all had short and thick spines, apart from young individuals, which exhibited slightly longer and thinner spines.

Ecological notes. This species lives in small cavities in the reef habitat, under rocks and gravel in the backreef or in seagrass beds (del Valle García et al. 2005). Eucidaris tribuloides is omnivorous; its diet varies according to food availability in the environment ( Lawrence 1975; Machado et al. 2008). Pieces of algae and bryozoans, coral fragments, gastropod shells, echinoid spines, sponges, and seagrass have been recorded as food items ( Hendler et al. 1995). This species is common in the intertidal zone along the coasts of Alagoas and Bahia, while in the remaining northeastern states it seems to be more restricted to depths greater than 10 m. Few specimens were observed in reef crevices and among macroalgae in the coral reef formations of Tamandaré, State of Pernambuco. On the other hand, the species is abundant on the reefs of Praia do Francês (State of Alagoas), where it occurs on under rocks and co-occurs with crinoids, sponges, and other invertebrates. At this beach, we observed specimens hosting an ectoparasitic gastropod belonging to the family Eulimidae Philippi ( Fig. 19A View FIGURE 19 ). Numerous specimens were reported by del Valle García et al. (2005) from strongly polluted areas such as “Playa del Chivo” and the coast adjacent to the river “Quibú”. Along the Brazilian littoral, specimens are being removed in large quantities, mainly to supply the demands of aquarium enthusiasts ( Machado et al. 2008). Martins et al. (2012a) evaluated echinoderm harvesting in Todos os Santos Bay (BA) for local aquarium trade and listed E. tribuloides as the eighth most collected species for this purpose.
