| Scientific Name | Common Name | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Eupentacta pseudoquinquesemita | Long-footed white sea cucumber | This common sea cucumber looks a lot like Eupentacta quinquesemita, but has longer tube feet and some different-looking ossicles. |
| Eupentacta quinquesemita | Stiff-footed white sea cucumber | This species is difficult to definitively identify without a look at the ossicles through a microscope. A description of the ossicles can be found in Lambert 1997. Macroscopically, this species has much shorter, stiffer tube feet than the incredibly similar Eupentacta pseudoquinquesemita. A similar genus is Pentamera spp. |
