Taxonomic status of the oreasterid sea star Bothriaster primigenius Döderlein, 1916 (Echinodermata, Asteroidea) 90371905 Kogure, Yoichi 木暮, 陽一 コグレ, ヨウイチ Kogure 木暮 コグレ Yoichi 陽一 ヨウイチ Omori, Akihito 大森, 紹仁 オオモリ, アキヒト 新潟大学 Niigata University Fujita, Yoshihisa 藤田, 喜久 フジタ, ヨシヒサ Okinawa Prefectural University of Arts 沖縄県立芸術大学 open access starfish; Bothriaster primigenius; Choriaster granulatus; species validity; COI; taxonomy One of the oreasterid sea stars, Bothriaster primigenius, is a rarely encountered species in the tropical Indo-West Pacific. The taxonomic position of this species, and more specifically, whether to recognize this sea star as a species, remains unresolved. To resolve the question, we assessed the specific validity of this sea star based on morphological observations and molecular phylogenetic analysis. The results revealed that this species is a young individual of another oreasterid sea star, Choriaster granulatus, and is placed as a junior synonym for the same.
