Taxonomy
The type species, Ophiopsiella procera, described by Agassiz (1844),[2] was previously considered by some authors to be the type species for the genus Ophiopsis. However, Lane and Ebert (2015) noted that Ophiopsis originally included O. muensteri only when first erected by Agassiz (1834), so they erected the new genus Ophiopsiella for Ophiopsis procera, referring "Ophiopsis" attenuata Wagner (1863), "Ophiopsis" penicillata Agassiz (1843), "Ophiopsis" breviceps Egerton (1852), "Ophiopsis" dorsalis Agassiz (1843), "Ophiopsis" montsechensis Wenz (1968) and "Ophiopsis" lepturus Bellotti (1857) to the genus.[3]
