The type species,
Ophiopsis muensteri, was previously placed in
Furo by several authors who mistakenly considered
Ophiopsiella procera the
Ophiopsis type species. However, Lane and Ebert (2015) noted that
Ophiopsis originally included
O. muensteri only when first erected by Agassiz (1834), so they re-assigned
procera and some
Ophiopsis species to the new genus
Ophiopsiella. ==See also==
