Authority Claparède & Mecznikow, 1869. The 2nd author spelling here is Mecznikow. "Metschnikow" also may be seen used.

Etymology Paxton & Åkesson (2007) deduced that Ophryotrocha derived from "ciliated eyebrow", "for the eyebrow-like ciliated patches on the prostomium, as the name of the genus, and puerilis (youthful), as the specific name". Ophryos is Greek for eyebrow and Trochos is Greek for wheel, but is commonly used for encircling ciliated bands in larvae. Perhaps eyebrow-position ciliated band would be closer to the intended meaning. [details]
Identification Paxton & Åkesson (2007:4) state "It could be argued that the species we call today O. labronica should be called O. puerilis [thus labronica would be a synonym] and the species we call today O. puerilis is not formally described or [was] described as Staurocephalus siberti McIntosh, 1885." However, these authors elected to maintain the current concepts. [details]
Original description Ophryotrocha puerilis has no formal taxonomy as a new species in the original description, rather the new name (and thus genus Ophryotrocha) is introduced in a heading and in a further sentence (below) & in captions for pl.13, Fig.2 [10 items]:
The heading is: b. Die Entwickelungsgeschichte von Ophryotrocha puerilis Clprd. Mecz. Hierzu Taf. XIII. Fig. 2. [ The development history of Ophryotrocha puerilis Clprd. Mecz ].
p. 184 "Im Bodensatze unserer Aquarien fanden wir nicht selten kleine Euniciden larven, deren Entwickelung wir bis zur Geschlechtsreife zu verfolgen vermochten. Dadurch erlangten wir die Ueberzeugung, dass es sich um eine bisher gänzlich unbekannte Form handelte, die, selbst im reifen Zustande, sehr winzig bleibt und das ganze Leben hindurch gewisse Merkmale beibehält, die sonst nur den Larven zukommen , so die Wimperreifen. Wir nennen diese neue Thierform 0phryotrocha puerilis."
Approximated translation: "In the bottom of our aquarium we found often small Eunicid larvae, the development of which we were able to track to sexual maturity. Thus we acquired the conviction that they were a hitherto completely unknown form that even in the mature state, remains very tiny and throughout life retains certain features, otherwise only larval, such as ciliation. We call this new animal form 0phryotrocha puerilis." A further description follows.
[details]
Type locality In aquaria, at or near location of Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, 40.8327,14.2358, coastal in Naples, Italy. The neotype was from a strain collected originally in Genoa, but no formal type locality information is given [details]From regional or thematic species database
Introduced species vector dispersal Argentinean part of the South Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region) Ships: accidental with ballast water, sea water systems, live wells or other deck basins [details]
