G. impressa differs from tubaria in the following Features: genital plates are evenly covered with tubercles; miliary spines are more or less club-shaped; the interpore zones of the ambulacra have small tubercles extending into the bare median Areas, often to the extent that the bare area becomes a discontinuous series of patches.

Goniocidaris impressa Köhler, 1926,was regarded by Mortensen (1928b) and H.L. Clark (1946) to be merely a variety of G. tubaria. However, examination of the large collection of Goniocidaris in the Australian Museum (including the type of impressa) indicates that they can be readily distinguished, and G. impressa should be recognized as a distinct species.
