Nepanthia brachiata Koehler View in CoL

Nepanthia brachiata Koehler, 1910: 133–135 View in CoL , pl., 19 figs 14–15.— Fisher, 1917: 173.— Fisher, 1919: 420.— Clark and Rowe, 1971: 70.— A.M. Clark, 1993: 222.

Remarks. Fisher (1917, 1919) and Clark and Rowe (1971) referred N. brachiata to Paranepanthia . The type specimen could not be found. Based on the description and figures by Koehler (1910), N. brachiata is characterised by: discrete narrow rays, flat actinally with narrow thin margins, not subcylindrical; absence of two distinct ‘fields’ of abactinal plates; predominantly large single papulae in papular spaces; few suboral, subambulacral and actinal interradial spines; webbed combs of digitiform actinal spines. This combination of characters is not found in Nepanthia or Paranepanthia or Pseudonepanthia . Without material we have not been able to examine the internal skeleton.
