Antedonidae is a family of crinoids or feather stars in the phylum Echinodermata. Members of the family are unstalked and have ten feathery arms. They can move about freely and have clawed cirri to attach them temporarily to structures. [2]
The following genera are recognised by the World Register of Marine Species: [1]
At the end of each Major League Baseball season, the league leaders of various statistical categories are announced. Leading either the American League or the National League in a particular category is referred to as a title.
Articulata are a subclass or superorder within the class Crinoidea, including all living crinoid species. They are commonly known as sea lilies or feather stars. The Articulata are differentiated from the extinct subclasses by their lack of an anal plate in the adult stage and the presence of an entoneural system. Articulata first appeared in the fossil record during the Triassic period although other, now extinct crinoid groups, originated in the Ordovician.
The Asteriidae are a diverse family of Asteroidea in the order Forcipulatida. It is one of three families in the order Forcipulatida.
Goniasteridae constitute the largest family of sea stars, included in the order Valvatida. They are mostly deep-dwelling species, but the family also include several colorful shallow tropical species.
Comasteridae is a family of crinoids.
Henricia is a large genus of slender-armed sea stars belonging to the family Echinasteridae. It contains about fifty species.
Stathmopoda is a genus of moths. It has variously been placed in its own family, Stathmopodidae, or in subfamily Stathmopodinae in the family Oecophoridae. Note that the phylogeny and systematics of gelechoid moths are still not fully resolved.
Luidia is a genus of starfish in the family Luidiidae in which it is the only genus. Species of the family have a cosmopolitan distribution.
Antedon is a genus of sessile, stemless crinoids. The genus first appeared in the fossil record in the Cretaceous period.
Capillaster is a genus of crinoids. It contains the following species:
Charitometridae is a family of crinoids or feather stars in the phylum Echinodermata.
Mattheus Marinus Schepman was a Dutch malacologist. He was one of the foremost collectors of mollusc shells in the Netherlands, and was also high on the overall list of European collectors.
Metacrinus is a genus of stalked crinoids in the family Isselicrinidae. Members of this genus live on hard surfaces in deeper parts of the ocean. The genus has extant species and is also represented in the fossil record. Members of the genus grow to a maximum height of 60 centimetres (24 in) and are found in the eastern Pacific Ocean from Japan to Australia.
Isocrinidae is one of four extant families of crinoids in the order Isocrinida.
Comatulidae is a family of comatulid crinoids. Since 2015, it replaces the family Comasteridae.
Bathycrinus is a genus of crinoids.
Florometra serratissima is a species of crinoid or feather star in the family Antedonidae. It is found off the Pacific coast of North America, usually in deep water.
Dichrometra is a genus of echinoderms belonging to the family Mariametridae.
Annametra is a genus of crinoids in the family Antedonidae, subfamily Antedoninae, first described by Clark, A. H. in 1936.
