Ophiophrixus confinis Koehler
Ophiophrixus confinis Koehler, 1922:30.
The description of Ophiophrixus confinis was based on two specimens. Clark selected as the lectotype (p. 452) the specimen that Koehler mentioned first in his description. “The specimen from station 5123 is of large size, the diameter of the disk reaching 23 mm and the length of the arms 160 mm; unfortunately, the disk is in poor condition, the dorsal surface has been partially torn away and is more or less out of place.” The specimen from station 5592 (USNM E332) is the paralectotype.
