The last account of Australian asteroids ( Rowe and Gates, 1995) showing Goniasteridae below 1000 m included three genera and species, Hippasteria trojana (now H. phrygiana ), 366–1152 m, Mediaster arcuatus , 630–1070 m, and Nymphaster moebii , 195–1655 m out of 34 species in 19 genera (Gates and Rowe, 1995). These species were present in a much shallower primary range, only extending at the lower limit below 1000 m. The Pseudarchasteridae , including Pseudarchaster and Paragonaster were removed from the Goniasteridae by Mah and Foltz (2011) since Gates and Rowe (1995).
