Ophidiaster is a widely occurring genus containing 24 species in the tropical and subtropical Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Ophidiaster has been historically identified by its characteristic eight longitudinal rows of granule covered abactinal plates. This character has created problematic overlap with Tamaria and Hacelia , which are also identified based on the number of longitudinal rows along their arms. Partial rows have been observed and their role in the taxonomic definitions of these genera awaits further study. : Published as part of Mah, Christopher L., 2021, The East Pacific / South Pacific Boundary: New taxa and occurrences from Rapa Nui (Easter Island), New Caledonia and adjacent regions, pp. 401-450 in Zootaxa 4980 (3) on page 432, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4980.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4896889 : {"references": ["Nardo, J.
