Genus Decametra A.H. Clark, 1911

Decametra Clark, A.H. 1911. The Recent crinoids of the coasts of Africa. Proceedings of the United States National Museum 40(1808): 1-51 [13, 31].
Type species:
Decametra mobiusi A.H. Clark, 1911 by subsequent designation, see Clark, A.H. 1911. Scientific results of the trawling expedition of H.M.C.S. Thetis. Recent crinoids of Australia. Memoirs of the Australian Museum 4(15): 705-804 [774]; Rowe, F.W.E. in Rowe, F.W.E. & Gates, J. 1995. Echinodermata. In, Wells, A. (ed.). Zoological Catalogue of Australia. Vol. 33. Melbourne : CSIRO Australia xiii 510 pp. [Date published 30 May 1995] (there is confusion over the correct type species for this genus. We recognise Decametra mobiusi, indicated by Clark (1911) as the type species, to be a mispelling of Decametra möbiusi originally described by the same author in March, 1911 and not a nom. nud. as suggested by Clark, 1946, and therefore the valid type species of Decametra).
Prometra Clark, A.H. 1912. Crinoidea. Echinoderma of the Indian Museum. Calcutta : Trustees of Indian Museum 325 pp. 61 figs. [321].
Type species:
Colobometra chadwicki A.H. Clark, 1911 by original designation.
