Sea star Henricia spiculifera(Clark, 1901) in the northwestern Pacific: one species or three?
Three species of the sea stars are reported from the waters of the northwestern Pacific. These species were referred by earlier authors as Henricia spiculifera or H. leviuscula spiculifera . Two of them, H. lineata and H. uluudax , were recently described from the Aleutian Islands. These species are...
