    The Stichasteridae are a small family of Asteroidea (sea stars) in the order Forcipulatida. Genera were formerly unassigned, or in the family Asteriidae . The World Register of Marine Species lists these genera within the family Stichasteridae: ^ "WoRMS - World Register of Marine Species - Stichasteridae Perrier, 1885".
    Stichaster striatus, the common light striated star, is a species of starfish in the family Stichasteridae, found in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. It was first described by the German zoologists Johannes Peter Müller and Franz Hermann Troschel in 1840.
    The Stichasteridae differ from the Asteriidae in their abactinal organization. Stichasterids have a compact wall skeleton, with no noticeable differentiation between abactinals ( Fig. 9F ). The most important synapomorphy that differentiates Asteriidae from all other Forcipulatacea is the presence of wreath organs.
