Summary: | The significance of Crossaster japonicus and Northern Hemisphere species Fell (1958) identified sufficient similarity between Crossaster multispinus and the North Pacific Crossaster japonicus (Fisher, 1911) to argue that the latter was a synonym of the former. This was met with disagreement by Rowe & Gates (1995) who returned the two species to their original status. O’Hara (1998) agreed with Rowe & Gates (1995) in further retaining the two species as separate. A phylogenetic treatment using mitochondrial and nuclear genes surveyed North Atlantic Crossaster papposus and Crossaster squamatus (D̂derlein, 1900), including exemplars of Southern Hemisphere Crossaster multispinus and Crossaster campbellicus in their analysis of Northern Hemisphere species (Ringvold & Moum 2020) concluding that they were closely related and possibly sister species. Crossaster japonicus was not among the species surveyed but has been historically considered as morphologically similar to Crossaster papposus (Fisher, ... : Published as part of Mah, Christopher L., 2023, New Genera, Species, and observations on the biology of Antarctic Valvatida (Asteroidea), pp. 1-88 in Zootaxa 5310 (1) on pages 47-48, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5310.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/8090240 ... |
