REMARK
Perrier (1875: 127) established the species O. purpureus to accommodate one of the two specimens that Lamarck identified as a representative of his new species Asterias cylindrica , ( O. purpureus is now considered a synonym of Ophidiaster hemprichi ( Müller & Troschel, 1842)) . Yet Perrier did not consider the second Lamarck specimen of Asterias cylindrica to designate the holotype of O. purpureus . He assigned as holotype an individual collected by Rousseau in the Seychelles in 1842.
