Although a comprehensive guide to the South African echinoid fauna was published as recently as 2017, four notable additions to the fauna have emerged since that time and are reported on here. The first South African records for (Thomson, 1872), (Linnaeus, 1758), L. Agassiz, in Agassiz and Desor 1846, and Troschel, 1869 are presented. All four species have previously been recorded from the Atlantic and/or Indian Oceans and their ranges are thus extended southwards here. These additions increase the total number of echinoid species known from South Africa to 74.
尽管最近在2017年出版了一本关于南非海胆动物群的综合指南，但自那时以来，该动物群又出现了四个显著的新增物种，并在此进行报道。本文展示了（汤姆森，1872年）、（林奈，1758年）、L. 阿加西（阿加西和德索尔，1846年）以及（特罗舍尔，1869年）在南非的首次记录。所有这四个物种此前都已在大西洋和/或印度洋被记录，因此它们的分布范围在此向南扩展。这些新增物种使南非已知的海胆物种总数增加到74种。
