Ophiura ( Ophiuroglypha ) irrorata ? (Lyman, 1878) Reports for the Azores: non Ophioglypha irrorata Lyman, 1878 — Koehler 1896b: 241 [misidentify O. concreta ]; non Ophiura irrorata (Lyman, 1878) — Grieg 1932: 32 [based Koehler 1896b]; Ophiura irrorata (Lyman, 1878) —? $ Martynov & Litvinova 2008: 79–80, fig. 1C.
