Ophiactis definita

Ophiactis definita Koehler

Ophiactis definita Koehler, 1922:187.

Koehler began his description, “I shall describe the species more especially on the basis of the two specimens from station 5119, of which I give photographs (pl. 64, figs. 1, 2, 7).” Koehler's caption for figure 7 of plate 64 (p. 466) is incorrect. It reads “dorsal surface of the specimen represented in fig. 1.” Figure 7 is actually the dorsal surface of the specimen represented in figure 2. Clark selected the specimen with photographs of the ventral and dorsal surface (pl. 64: figs. 2, 7), recataloged it as USNM E1050, and designated it the lectotype of Ophiactis definita (p. 452). The remaining eighteen specimens in Table 20 are paralectotypes.
