From editor or global species database
Nomenclature H.L. Clark (1915) proposed the replacement name brevispinosa when he moved Ophioglypha brevispina to Ophiura due to homonymy with Ophiura brevispina Say, 1825. Since the species has been transferred to Ophiuroglypha, the original name could be available again, but this requires a published taxonomic act. [details]
