One sentenee of the Abstraet (p. 1) should be eorreeted as follows.
From: “A new speeies, Asterostegus sabineae sp. nov. is deseribed from off Reunion Island and two
other speeies, U. tuberculatusM^oriQnsQn, 1933 andU. maini, are redeseribed.”
To: “ A new speeies, Asterostegus sabineae sp. nov. is deseribed from off Madagasear Island and two
other speeies, U. tuberculatusyioriQWSQn, 1933 andU. maini, are redeseribed.”
One sentenee in Materials and methods (p. 3) should be eorreeted as follows.
From: “The holotype (MNHN MO-01) and four paratypes of the new speeies were fixed in 99% ethanol
(SMNH-Type-8333; SMNH-Type-8536).”
To: “ The holotype (MNHN IE-2013-8012) and four paratypes of the new speeies were fixed in 99%
ethanol (SMNH-Type-8333; SMNH-Type-8536).”
A eatalogue number of one paratype speeimen of Asterostegus sabineae (SMNH-Type-85436) was
misspelled. Thus the type material aeeount of Asterostegus sabineae sp. nov. (p. 4) should be eorreeted
as follows.
From: “...Holotype (MNHN IE-2013-8012), three paratypes (SMNH-Type-8333) and one paratype
(SMNH-Type-85436), all ethanol preserved speeimens...”
To: “...Holotype (MNHN IE-2013-8012), three paratypes (SMNH-Type-8333) and one paratype
(SMNH-Type-8546), all ethanol preserved speeimens...”
Material examined seetion of Asterostegus tuberculatus (p. 12) should be eorreeted as follows.
From: “SMNH-123461, one ethanol preserved speeimen, west eoast of Reunion Island, 500 m, 2009.”
To: “ SMNH-123461, one ethanol preserved speeimen, west eoast of Reunion Island, 500 m, 2009,
eolleeted by T. Moloehau (Aquarium Reunion)”

Sehnabel (NIWA) for their assistanee with the examination of the holotype of Asterostegus maini
and to Sabine Stohr (SMNH) and Mare Eleaume (MNHN) for arranging the loans of examined
speeimens. We are grateful to Thierry Moloehau from Aquarium Reunion for donating the
speeimen of A. tuberculatus to SMNH. This work was supported by grants from the Researeh
Institute of Marine Invertebrates (Tokyo), the Showa Seitoku Memorial Foundation, and the
