Ophiolepis Sundevalli, Muller and Troschel (1842).

 Amphiura Sundevalli, Ljunginan (1866). 



"Found in 15 fathoms at Cateau Bay," Long Island, Labrador, "on a 

 sandy bottom," in 1864 (Packard) ; and by the Stearns expedition at Henley 

 Harbour, Chateau Bay, in 10 to 15 fathoms (Miss Bush). A very slender 

 and fragile brittle star, dredged abundantly in the deep sea mud (180-300 

 fathoms) to the south and south-east of the Island of Anticosti, was referred 

 to A. HolboUi, by the writer, in 1871, but Professor Verrill, in 1873, 

 thought it " near Ophiopeltis borealis, Sars," which Lyman says is an 

 Amphiura. Verrill, however, in 1899, gives the (irulf of St. Lawrence as 

 the locality for A. Sunder>alli.
