Abstract
Two new deep-sea species of the family Pedicellasteridae from Japanese waters – Ampheraster phantasma sp. n. and Anteliaster seisuiae sp. n. – are described. These new species represent the first discovery of the genera Ampheraster and Anteliaster from this region. We also report the first occurrence of Pedicellaster indistinctus from Japanese waters in the same area.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:B0C50A66FD9544D7A6F4CD54F3ECCB85
