Table 2 in Resolving the Ophioderma longicauda (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) cryptic species complex: five sisters, three of them new

Table 2 (continued on the next page). Morphological variability in Ophioderma hybrida sp. nov. from Monastir (MON) and Kelibia (KEL), Tunisia. The dorsal disc has been cut off (but is present) in KEL2, 6, 11. Catalogue numbers are from Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm. SMNH-Type-9185 is the holotype, all specimens in SMNH-Type-9186 are paratypes. For simplicity, oral papillae are counted from Lyman’s ossicle to infradental. AS-n = number of arm spines; DAP-no = dorsal arm plate numbers; DAP-th = dorsal arm plate thickness; DC = dorsal colouration; DD = disc diameter; FieldID = field number, OPa = number of oral papillae; RS = radial shield covering; VC = ventral colouration.
