Material examined. Okinawa Island (RUMF-ZE-02051[1], RUMF-ZE-02052[1], RUMF-ZE-02053[1]): “entrance” of the “Hedo-Dome” cave, under rocks or coral rubble, approximately 18 m depth, 12 August 2016 (RUMF-ZE-02051), 22 May 2017 (RUMF-ZE-02052, RUMF-ZE-02053). Ie Island (RUMF-ZE-02054[1], RUMF-ZE-02055[1], RUMF-ZE-02056[1]): “entrance” of the “Unnamed cave”, under coral rubble, approximately 18 m depth, 24 June 2017 (RUMF-ZE-02054, RUMF-ZE-02055), 23 June 2017 (RUMF-ZE- 02056).

Distribution. Widely distributed in Indo-West Pacific. Depth range 1– 298 m.

Remarks. This species is identified as Ophionereis porrecta by virtue of: lacking genital papillae along genital slits; having relatively large scales on aboral interradial disc than other parts; having wide rectangular dorsal arm plates; having small supplementary dorsal arm plates (e.g. A. M. Clark & Rowe, 1971).
