The biogeogeographical distribution of Platasterias latiradiata Gray, considered a "living fossil" is extended to Ecuador, which has been founded close to the coast of Mexico and Central America. A map gives the new distribution, as well as a comparative study of the external morphology in a similar way as the reports and contributions of Caso, M. (1961, 1976). It is also included a table with measurements of several parts of the body, considered of taxonomic importance and pictures, showing predation on the gastropod, Olivella semistriata like one of its common food of preference.Se amplía la distribución biogeográfica de Platasterias latiradiata (Gray), hasta el Ecuador, considerada un fósil viviente, la que ha sido encontrada sólo en el Pacífico litoral mexicano y centroamericano. En un mapa se da a conocer la nueva distribución, así como también un estudio comparativo de la morfología externa de una manera similar a los reportes y contribuciones de Caso, M. (1961, 1976). También se incluye una tabla con las medidas de algunas partes del cuerpo consideradas de importancia taxonómica y fotografías mostrando la predación de gasterópodos (Olivela semistriata), como uno de sus alimentos preferidos.
