Copidaster lymani A. H. Clark, 1948, is reported and redescribed from new material collected at Carrie Bow Cay (Belize), Portobelo (Panama), and Ascension Island. These are the first western Atlantic records of C. lymani since description of the holotype from Florida. Revisions by earlier authors, in which Copidaster is synonymized with the genera Leiaster or Ophidiaster, are rejected, and Ophidiaster schismochilus H. L. Clark, 1922, is referred to the genus Copidaster. This manuscript is an author version with the final publication available and may be cited as: Miller, J. E. (1984). Systematics of the ophidiasterid sea stars Copidaster lymani A. H. Clark, and Hacelia superba H. L. Clark (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) with a key to species of Ophidiasteridae from the western Atlantic. Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, 97(1), 194-208. Florida Atlantic University.
