摘要

從1994年7月到1998年8月，以底拖船在臺灣沿海30－200公尺的沙面進行海星採集。共採獲6種槭海星科海星（多棘槭海星Astropecten polyacanthus*，華普槭海星Astropecten vappa，鑲邊海星Craspidaster hesperus，中華櫛肋海星Ctenopleura sinica*，美麗雙沙海星Dipsacaster pretiosus*，海神海星Tethyaster aulophorus*），其中5種為臺灣新記錄種（有*號）。本報告描述這6種海星並訂正前人有關本科的記錄。其中Hayasaka（1949）記錄的楓葉槭海星Astropecten scoparius和陸氏櫛肋海星Ctenopleura ludwigi，應該是華普槭海星Astropecten vappa和中華櫛肋海星Ctenopleura sinica。種的描述、檢索表、棲地、地理分布及標本照均包含在本文中。

From July 1994 to Aug. 1998, systematic collections of starfishes by trawling from sandy substrates at 30-200 m depth along the coast off Taiwan were conducted at 9 stations. Six species (Astropecten polyacanthus*, Astropecten vappa*, Craspidaster hesperus, Ctenopleura sinica*, Dipsacaster pretiosus*, and Tethyaster aulophorus*) of the Astropectinidae were collected, with five being new records (marked with asterisks). This paper describes these 6 species and reviews the classification of other recorded astropectinids from Taiwan. Two species, Astropecten vappa and Ctenopleura sinica, first recorded by Hayasaka in 1949 were misidentified as Astropecten scoparius and Ctenopleura ludwigi, respectively. Species accounts, a key to species, notes on general habitat and distribution, and photos are presented.
