Western Indian Ocean J. Mar. Sci., 10(2):137-154.
This study raises the number of Ophiocoma species recorded in South
Africa from four to eight. All species are briefly discussed in terms of taxonomy,
geographic distribution and ecology. In addition, the juvenile of O. brevipes, found
on the underside of adult Ophiocoma brevipes specimens, is described in detail. A
neotype is designated for O. scolopendrina.
