This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Mah, Christopher L. (2026): New species and occurrences of deep-sea Asteroidea (Forcipulatacea, Valvatida, Paxillosida) from the Pacific continental margin of Costa Rica. Zootaxa 5845 (2): 201-234, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5845.2.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5845.2.1
Abstract
Deep-sea settings in the Eastern Tropical Pacific remain a poorly understood region with many further species awaiting discovery. Herein, four new species from Costa Rica are described from deep-sea habitats. New occurrences with in situ or living observations are made for eight species. New observations of hippasterine corallivory on deep-sea octocorals are included. A brief summary of Costa Rican species is presented.
