Remark As noted by A.H. Clark (1954) and A.M. Clark (1982), Asterias clathrata Say, is a junior homonym of Asterias clathrata Pennant, 1777 (a synonym of Asterias rubens). In order to validate the widely used L. clathrata (Say), suppression of A. clathrata Pennant by the ICZN is needed. [details]Unreviewed
