   • 1879, Richard Rathbun, A List of the Brazilian Echinoderms: With Notes on Their Distribution, Etc:

     Comparatively few additions were therefore made to the previously known Echinoderm-fauna of Brazil, only a single species, a Leptasterias, being with certainty new to science.

   • 2012, Caspar Henderson, The Book of Barely Imagined Beings, 2013 edition, Granta Books, page 47:

     Many echinoderms are still bilateral as larvae, and swim freely in the ocean like baby fish.
