Patiriella Verrill, 1913

Synonymy and remarks. O’Loughlin et al. (2002) reviewed the status of Patiriella Verrill, 1913 , and noted that recent molecular phylogenetic analyses of species of Asterinidae ( Hart et al., 1997; Byrne et al., 1999; J. M. Waters and M. S. Roy, unpubl. data) were beginning to provide a basis for a reassessment of asterinid taxonomy. Pending publication of a review of the assignment of species to genera within Asterinidae , the four species treated in this work are retained provisionally in Patiriella , most recently diagnosed by Campbell and Rowe (1997).
