Abstract:

Recently, three very large specimens of the starfish Luidia superba Clark were collected in shallow water in the Galapagos Islands. This collection not only represents a rediscovery of the species, but also establishes a record for the largest five-armed starfish known. Their size, distribution, and stomach contents are given and compared with those of other species of Luidia.
