Abstract

Order Holasteroida includes three recent genera kinds of extreme morphologies, restricted to deep-water environments. There are 49 fossil genera reported since the Cretaceous, mainly in shallow waters. This paper updates taxonomic information of the holasteroids from the Cretaceous in Mexico. We based in previous reports; taxa were reviewed, re-determined and classified under current criteria. Species Pseudananchys completa, Holaster nanus, and Holaster simplex are reported for the Upper Cretaceous from Mexico. We present taxonomic information, plates and distribution of the reported species.
