    Abstract

    GRAVELY (1927) in his account on the echinoderms of Krusadai Island in the Gulf of Mannar reported the occurrence of a brittle-star Ophiophragmus relictus (Koehler). Under synonymy for this species he included Amphiura relicta Koehler. Amphiura relicta is currently regarded as a synonym of Amphioplus depressus (Ljungman). A re-examination of the specimens of Dr. F. H. Gravely at the Madras Museum revealed that they are not A. depressus but belong to an un-described species of Amphioplus. They are named here as Amphioplus gravelyi after Dr. F. H. Gravely who collected the specimens. The types are present in the reference collections of the Madras Government Museum.
