 * Good intentions, but I guess my point is that "superba" is not a species, it's just the second half of a name; the animal is either Luidia sp., or "Magnificent Star". Whether being mysterious in a global encyclopedia is OK or not I'll leave to others, but I feel that names should be given correctly or not at all. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:34, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The epithet is "superba". How is it incorrect to use the epithet in a hook?  Rcej (Robert) –  talk  02:51, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
