REMARK

The Paris specimens identified A. angulatus by Müller & Troschel (1842) was collected from Mauritius. Dujardin & Hupé (1862) mentioned that individuals of A. angulatus originated from either Java, Mauritius or New Holland ( Australia). In fact, three different Archaster species inhabit these areas: Java ( A. typicus Müller & Troschel, 1840 ), Mauritius ( A. lorioli ), west Australia ( A. angulatus ) ( Sukarno & Jangoux 1977).
