Two new western Atlantic brittlestars are described and illustrated in color. Ophioderma devaneyi n. sp., is a large (up to 39.6 mm disc diameter), robust, red-spotted species collected from the outer continental shelf and upper slope between Cape Hatteras and central Florida, and observed in situ from the Research Submersible Johnson-Sea-Link. It has also been identified in seafloor photographs from the Gulf of Mexico, off southern Florida.
