Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 January 2014
Abstract
The spiny basket star Astrocaneum spinosum is an ophiuroid found in coastal waters of the tropical eastern Pacific. This paper presents a new record of this species from off the coast of Ecuador and an extension of its distribution range of some 1200 km to the south.
