Taxon Notes:	This genus includes all species in this region formerly placed in Ophiomusium - the latter now only includes the Atlantic species O. eburneum which has been shown to be unrelated genetically to the other species formerly included with it. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
