The holotype for Ophryotrocha platykephale was originally collected and described from the East Pacific Rise up the Gulf of California (Blake 1985). Greg Rouse collected this specimen on the 2013 cruise. However, this identification was solely based on morphology, because there is currently no GenBank COI sequence available for this species.
