Remarks:
The two unidentified species of
Amphiura
may belong to known species, because
Price (1981)
said that they were poorly preserved, which may have made them unrecognizable. If the material can be found, they need to be re-examined and identification with molecular methods should be tried (e.g. barcoding).
