Hypalocrinus Explained

Hypalocrinus is a monotypic genus of echinoderms belonging to the family Isocrinidae. The only species is Hypalocrinus naresianus.[1]

The species is found in Malesia.

A study comparing ontogenetic development of brachial articulations suggest that Hypalocrinus may in fact be a synonym of Neocrinus, belonging to that genus.[2]
