| Summary: | Pergamaster incertus (Bell, 1908) (Figures 14 A–F) Bell, 1908: 9; Fisher, 1940: 121; A.M. Clark, 1962: 22, 23; Bernasconi, 1963: 24 (as P. incertus) Fisher, 1940: 122; A.M. Clark, 1962: 22; Bernasconi, 1963: 24. (as P. synaptorus). Mein, 1992: 245 (as P. intercus) Synonymy of P. synaptorus Fisher, 1940. Character overlap between examined specimens suggests that P. synaptorus Fisher 1940 is a synonym of Pergamaster incertus (Bell, 1908). Fisher (1940) distinguished P. synaptorus from P. in c er t u s by only one character, the distalmost five to seven superomarginals abutted over the midline on the arm. One specimen (USNM E13414) displayed the distalmost two to three superomarginals directly abutting, suggesting that this is a variable character. Character overlap between the two species is also present. Fisher (1940) described P. synaptorus has having 13–14 superomarginals on each arm (11–12 in the smaller paratype). Relatively large sized P. i n c e r t u s (USNM 1081793 w/R=4.0 cm) display 13–14 ... : Published as part of Mah, Christopher L., 2011, Taxonomy of high-latitude Goniasteridae (Subantarctic & Antarctic): one new genus, and three new species with an overview and key to taxa, pp. 1-48 in Zootaxa 2759 on pages 34-37, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.276783 ... |
