CURRENT STATUS. — Luidia senegalensis ( Lamarck, 1816) View in CoL .

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Senegal • MNHN-IE-2014-160 ; 2 syntypes; Adanson leg .

DISTRIBUTION. — Florida to south of Brazil.

REMARK

Except for its two syntypes, the species Luidia senegalensis was never reported from African coasts. The type locality could be wrong, as it is the case for several localities given by Adanson (see Madsen 1950: 205) and the syntypes most probably come from the West Indies. In fact, L. senegalensis is a shallow water species from western Atlantic. Note that the MNHN has a third specimen of L. senegalensis , also collected by Adanson. It belonged to the Michelin collection and was presumably not seen by Lamarck.
