Diagnosis. Primarily identified by having plates covered by a thin membrane, abactinal plates hexagonal ( Fig. 27A, B View FIGURE 27 ), with numerous embedded crystalline bodies embedded in surface. Granules absent from abactinal, marginal or actinal granules. Furrow spines three to six, adambulacral plate with no other accessories, surface covered by skin ( Fig. 27C View FIGURE 27 )

Gut Content Observations. Individuals of this species (e.g. IE-2007-3992, 3996) from approximately 100 m depths were observed to have strongly arched disks that, with dissection of revealed coarse sand, foraminifera and echinoderm fragments ( Fig. 27C View FIGURE 27 ). which appeared to be characteristic components of the sediment rather than remnant skeletal remains. Size was approximately 17–20 grains along a 1.0 cm line suggesting that this species exploits a much more coarse-grained sediment relative to the similar Stellaster childreni detailed herein.

Occurrence. S. China Sea to N. Australia, Bay of Bengal, Red Sea, Southwest Indian Ocean (off Reunion Island), Madagascar. 0– 147 m.

Material Examined. IE-2007-3992 Sud Cap Sainte Marie , Madagascar 26°08’S 45°04’E, 106–111 m (1 wet spec. R=6.6, r=2.3) GoogleMaps ; IE-2007-3996 Madagascar, 25°37’S, 46°10’E, 106 m. Coll GoogleMaps . ATIMO VATAE N/O Nosy Be II CP 3560 . 3 wet specs. R=7.5, r=2,5, R=6.8, r=2.5; R=6.5, r=2.4.
