Calycina

Echinoidea

Taxonomy
Calycina was named by Gregory (1900). It is extant. It was considered monophyletic by Kroh and Smith (2010).

It was reranked as the suborder Calycina by Clark and Twitchell (1915); it was reranked as the unranked clade Calycina by Kroh and Smith (2010).

It was assigned to Diademoidea by Clark and Twitchell (1915); to Stirodonta by Smith (1991); to Acroechinoidea by Smith (1995); to Echinoidea by Donovan (1993) and Jagt (2000); and to Carinacea by Kroh and Smith (2010).
