Notes  Description: Differences in spine and plate shapes and in colour paterns separate the species, but reliable identification in the field is not really possible (Richmond, 1998). The tendency of young Ophiothrices is to have thorny radial shields, even when these are naked in fully grown species (Lyman, 1874). [details]

Habitat: Known from seamounts and knolls [details]

Remark: In family Ophiuridae in Ludwig (1899). Type species: O. suensonii ( Lyman, 1874). [details]
