The type specimen of the Jurassic cidarid Cidarites moniliferus Goldfuss, recently designated as type species of the genus Eucidaris Pomel 1883, is redescribed. The species is considered to be a typical member of the genus Stereocidaris Pomel 1883. As these two genera were published simultaneously, it is recommended that Eucidaris should be abandoned in favour of Stereocidaris.
