Dactylosaster cylindricus – Clark 1993: 329 . CURRENT STATUS. — Dactylosaster cylindricus ( Lamarck, 1816 ) . MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Mauritius • MNHN-IE-2014-471 ; holotype ; Baudin expedition (1800-1804); Péron and Lesueur leg. • MHNH : Lesueur drawings collection; ref. 74014; Baudin expedition . DISTRIBUTION. — The species is found in the tropical Indo-West Pacific. REMARK According to Perrier (1869 ; 1875 ), the two individuals collected by Péron and Lesueur in Mauritius in 1803 belong to two species that differ, among other characters, by the presence ( D. cylindricus ) or absence of enlarged granules on the central part of abactinal plates. He created the species Ophidiaster purpureus Perrier, 1869 (see further under that species) to accommodate the second individual.
