"(Carpenter, 1888)": and thereby hangs a tale, worth noting in the article. The reference is to P.H. Carpenter, "Report upon the Crinoidea collected during the Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger during the Years 1873-76" (1888). A link to the Challenger expedition and an explanation of Carpenter's multiple synonyms are missing essentials in this article. --Wetman (talk) 21:33, 9 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
