Ophiomitrella subjecta Koehler, 1922:114.
Koehler included all specimens in describing this species. Clark designated as lectotype the specimen first mentioned by Koehler in his description, “In the largest specimen, which is one of the two from station 5325, the diameter of the disk is 9 mm; the arms are incomplete.” Clark separated the two specimens from station 5325 and recataloged the largest one shown in figure 8 on plate 26 as the lectotype, USNM E1044 (p. 452). The remaining five specimens are paralectotypes.
