Echinoderes is a genus of mud dragons first described in 1863.[1] It is the largest genus within class Kinorhyncha.[4] It is a highly diverse genus, with member species that inhabit "most marine benthic substrates, on latitudes ranging from the Arctic to the tropics, and from the intertidal zone down to the deep sea."[1] Species on the east coasts of North and South America have been extensively studied by Robert P. Higgins.[1] Species in east Asia have been extensively studied by A. V. Adrianov.[1]

Members of Echinoderes are sexually dimorphic.[5]
