Table 2 in Delimitation of Ophioderma teres (Lyman, 1860) and Ophioderma unicolor H. L. Clark, 1940 stat. nov. (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea), including the description of two new species

Table 2. Morphometric data with the highest contribution to the differentiation of the studied species/morphotypes of Ophioderma Müller & Troschel, 1840. The ratios and counts are indicated as intervals, followed by the mean in parentheses. Abbreviations: 1VAP_W:L = first ventral arm plate (VAP) width:length ratio; AS_prox_3, 5 = number of arm spines in the 3 rd or 5 th proximal arm segment; DAPs_med_1, 2, 3 = number of DAP pieces in the 1 st, 2 nd or 3 rd median arm segment; DAPs_prox_3, 4, 5 = number of dorsal arm plate (DAP) pieces in the 3 rd, 4 th or 5 th proximal arm segment; DD = disc diameter; LOPas = lateral oral papillae; OSh_W:L = oral shield width:length ratio; VAP_L:W_med = VAP length:width ratio (median arm section); VAP_pores = number of arm segments with pores present between the proximalmost VAPs.
