Summary:brucei Koehler, 1908, Stolasterias Stolasterias brucei Koehler, 1908a: 569, pl. 5, figs 46, 47. Diplasterias brucei ‒ Clark in Clark & Mah 2001: 274. CURRENT STATUS. — Diplasterias brucei (Koehler, 1908). TYPE MATERIAL. — Antarctic • 5 syntypes; Scotia Bay (South Orkney Islands); Scottish Antarctic expedition; 1902-1904; MNHN- IE-2014-378. REMARKS Koehler’s original description mentions three specimens (Scotia Bay, South Orcads, 18 m). Yet five specimens occur in the MNHN with a single label indicating they are from the type locality. Various syntypes (15) are housed in the RSM (Ref. 1921. 143.1232) (Smalon et al. 1976).
