Abstract | 60 Ophiurid species, mainly bathyal, were sampled by MUSORSTOM Expedition in the area of Manila (Philippine Islands) 4 species are new for Science. Astrotoma drachi, Ophioaplinthaca manillae, Ophiurothamnus musorstomae, Ophiotreta speciosa. 13 species are found for the the first time since their original diagnosis. A new combination is established, Ophiodaphne formata, because Ophiodaphne materna Koehler (1930) appears to be the juvenile form of "Amphioplus" formatus (Koehler, 1905). Two other species are synonymized: Ophiomoeris pentagona Murakami (1944) with Ophiogyptis nodosa Koehler (1905) and Ophiothrix cumulata Koehler (1922) with Ophiothrix crassispina Koehler (1905). Amphiacantha transacta Koehler (1930) is transferred into the genus Amphilimna Verrill. |
