Okinawa Island (RUMF-ZE-02072[1], RUMF-ZE-02073[1], RUMF-ZE-02074[1]): “entrance” of the “Hedo Dome” cave, under rocks or coral rubble, approximately 18 m depth, 10 August 2016 (RUMF-ZE-02072, RUMF-ZE-02073), 22 May 2017 (RUMF-ZE-02074). Ie Island (RUMF-ZE-02075[1]): “entrance” of the “Unnamed cave”, under coral rubles, approximately 18 m depth, 24 June 2017. Shimoji Island (RUMF-ZE-02085[1]): “second slope” of the “Akuma no Yakata” cave, under coral rubble, approximately 20 m depth, 31 August 2017. Distribution. Widely distributed in Indo-West Pacific. Depth range 0– 278 m. Remarks. This specimen is identified as Ophiarachnella gorgonia by virtue of having: disc covered by dense granules except elongate radial shields; supplementary oral shields large, often equalling the oral shields in width (e.g. A. M. Clark & Rowe, 1971). : Published as part of Okanishi, Masanori & Fujita, Yoshihisa, 2019, A comprehensive taxonomic list of brittle stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from submarine caves of the Ryukyu Islands, southwestern Japan, with a description of a rare species, Dougaloplus echinatus (Amphiuridae), pp. 73-98 in Zootaxa 4571 (1) on pages 88-89, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4571.1.5, http://zenodo.org/record/2605976 : {"references": ["Muller, J. & Troschel, F.
