ASTROTHROMBUS RUGOSUS CLARK, NEW TO NEW ZEALAND, WITH NOTES ON OPHIOCERES HUTTONI (FARQUHAR), HEMILEP1S NORAE (BENHAM), AND OPHIUROGLYPHA IRRORATA (LYMAN) (ECHINODERMATA: OPHIUROIDEA)

Abstract Astro thrombus rugosus (Clark), hitherto known only from eastern Australia, is recorded here from off Kaikoura. Hemilepis abernethyi (Fell) and Ophioceres marginata (Fell) are here regarded as junior subjective synonyms of Hemilepis norae (Benham) and Ophioceres huttoni (Farquhar) respectively. Some New Zealand specimens of the cosmopolitan species Ophiuroglypha irrorata (Lyman) differ in some respects from the "typical" form; they may prove to represent a new species.
