Plate 51 



Type : Savigny and Audouin's type was collected in Egypt and 

 deposited in the Paris Museum. Muller and Troschel amplified 

 Audouin's exquisite figures of this species with a brief descrip- 

 tion, which was apparently based on his illustration. 



Distribution : This brittle-star is widely distributed in the 

 Indo-Pacific, having been recorded from the Red Sea southward 

 to Mombasa and Zanzibar, British East Africa, eastward to Mau- 

 ritius, Torres Strait at Badu, Friday Island and Green Island near 

 Caimes, Queensland, also at Shark's Bay, southwest Australia, 

 northward in the Sulu Archipelago at 10 fathoms and elsewhere 

 in the Philippines at 30 fathoms and north to Japan, at the mouth 

 of the Yeddo.
