Description: Also distributed in Ceylon, Maldive Islands, Bay of Bengal, East Indies, north Australia, Philippines, China, south Japan and South Pacific Islands (Clark & Rowe (1971)); Australia (Rowe & Gates, 1995). General distribution: tropical; Indo-west-central Pacific Ocean, depth range 0-?73 m. (Rowe & Gates, 1995); littoral and down to 34 fathoms in Clark (1911). Ecology: benthic, inshore, continental shelf, suspension feeder (Rowe & Gates, 1995). [details] Diagnosis: A species of Stephanometra with brachitaxis ossicles weakly swollen laterally or with thick rounded ridge-like extensions oriented obliquely to longitudinal axis of ray. Middle and distal cirrals aborally carinate or with small spine distally. P1 slender, tapering delicately to a conical tip; P2 alone or P2 and following 1–3 pinnules of elongated pinnulars with reduced ambulacral groove, a conical terminal segment, and flattened articulations lacking triangular fossae. Specimens with enlarged, stiff and spinelike P2 alone formerly treated as S. indica; with enlarged P2 and P3 as S. spicata (Carpenter); with enlarged P2 through P4 or P5 as S. oxyacantha (Hartlaub), and with spinelike P1 as S. spinipinna (Hartlaub). [details] Type locality: Type locality: Rodriguez Island, Mauritius. Holotype ?Natural History Museum, London (England) 1876.5.5.24 (Rowe & Gates, 1995). [details] | |||||||||||||
