Type species
Ophienigma spinilimbatum Stöhr & Segonzac, 2005 View in CoL .
Examined species
Ophienigma spinilimbatum View in CoL .
Oral GP
Not examined.
Adradial GP
Wrench-shaped adradio-dorsal distal end (condyle separated from process by deep incision), single condyle bordered by shallow groove.
Abradial GP
Sickle-shaped, flat, distally with concave articular structure, almost as long as adGP.
Oral shields
Madreporite with large centrodistal opening.
Radial shield
Single condyle and shallow groove. Patch of finer meshed stereom proximal to condyle.
Remarks
The genital plates and madreporites of Ophienigma spinilimbatum and Ophiopus arcticus show great similarity, which suggests that they are most likely closely related. The wrench shape of the adradial GP is also shared with Ophiactis .
