SUBFAMILY HIPPASTERINAE VERRILL, 1899 View in CoL
Verrill, 1899: 174; Fisher, 1906: 1165; 1910: 223; Spencer & Wright, 1966: U58; Mah et al., 2010: 270.
Comments
Mah et al. (2010) presented morphological evidence that supported recognition of the Hippasterinae within the Goniasteridae . Molecular evidence from Mah & Foltz (2011) also supported Hippasterinae as a discrete group.
Diagnosis
Pulpy tissue present, covering plates. Abactinal plates with spiny-granular or angular accessory fringe. Abactinal plates tightly articulated. Superomarginal and inferomarginal plates, wide to quadrate with large, prominent spines in most taxa. Pedicellariae enlarged, abundant, and often on raised base. Disk strongly swollen in most.
Included taxa
Evoplosoma Fisher, 1906 View in CoL , Gilbertaster Fisher, 1906 View in CoL , Hippasteria Gray, 1840 View in CoL , Sthenaster Mah et al., 2010 View in CoL .
