“…4). However, the current morphology-based classification suffers from a lack of consensus about character homologies (e.g., structure, derivation and placement of ligamentary articulations) (A.H. Clark, 1931;Hoggett and Rowe, 1986;Messing, 2001;Rowe et al, 1986). Identification is further confounded by substantial ontogenetic changes and morphological variation based on environmental conditions (e.g., mouth position, number of arms and cirri, and color variations (see Messing, 1998Messing, , 2001Owen et al, 2009)).…”

“…At the laboratory, crinoid specimens were sorted and identified using standard keys [10,11,15,16]. In addition, some important taxonomic works [17][18][19][20][21] were used in the identification of the specimen at the family, genus and species level.…”

A taxonomic study on the crinoids (feather stars) collected from 34 sites from the Red Sea coasts and islands as well as the Suez Canal was done during the period from 1992 to 2003. A total of 15 species are now known from the Red Sea belonging to eleven genera under six families. Among them four species are endemic to the Red Sea and the two species, Decametra chadwicki and Lamprometra klunzingeri, are recorded from the Suez Canal for the first time. Also, the two species, Oligometra serripinna and Dorometra aegyptica, are new record from Gulf of Suez, and Decametra mollis from Gulf of Aqaba and Northern Red Sea. This study represents the first proper documentation of crinoid species in the study area. Summaries are provided of the specific habitats and geographical distribution.

“…These systematic treatments expanded both the taxonomic diversity of living crinoids as well as expanding the documented geographic distribution of living crinoids. Systematic work on living crinoids culminated during this period with the beginning of the publication of A. H. Clark's Monograph on the Existing Crinoidea (Clark, 1915(Clark, , 1931, although publication of the parts of this significant contribution was not completed until 1967 (Clark and Clark, 1967).…”

ABSTRACT-Development of a phylogenetic classification has been a primary pursuit of crinoid paleontologists during the 20th century. Wachsmuth and Springer and Bather vigorously debated crinoid classification during the waning years of the 19th century, and although tremendous progress has been made a comprehensive phylogenetic classification is still the primary objective for crinoid research during the early 21st century. Twentieth century crinoid studies are divisible into four periods. The direct influence of Frank Springer and Francis Bather continued until approximately 1925. Descriptive studies dominated the period of 1926-1943 and culminated in a comprehensive classification of Paleozoic crinoids that was a combination of the ideas of Wachsmuth and Springer and Bather. The end of the third period, 1944-1978, was marked by publication of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology. The Treatise compilation brought together classification ideas for the entire class into a truly comprehensive classification, although problems remained with the phylogenetic underpinnings of the Treatise classification. During the third period, pioneering work on crinoid paleobiology laid the foundation for significant paleobiology advances for the fourth, 1979-1999, period. This last period also witnessed significant advances in the taxonomy of crinoid faunas at critical intervals, the taxonomy of crinoids from new geographic areas, and working toward the solution to the origin and early evolution of the Crinoidea.Continued work on crinoids in the 21st century promises to provide significant advances both for understanding the evolutionary history of crinoids and for understanding the history of epifaunal benthic communities through time. Immediate challenges include completion of a comprehensive phylogenetic classification, which will open the door for evolutionary paleoecologic and paleobiologic studies; utilization of computerized morphometric techniques in the analysis of functional morphology; systematic studies of new faunas in critical intervals; discovery of faunas in new geographic areas to better constrain knowledge of crinoid biogeography; and modern systematic revision of classic North American and European faunas.
