McCosker and Richard Heinrich Rosenblatt in 1998.[3] It is a marine, tropical eel which is known from the eastern central Pacific Ocean, including Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.[4] It dwells at a depth range of {{convert|0|to|69|m|ft}}, and inhabits sand sediments. Males can reach a maximum total length of {{convert|58.7|cm|in}}.[2] The species epithet "longipenis" means "long tail" in Latin.[2] Due to its moderately wide distribution in its region, its lack of known threats, and lack of observed population decline, the IUCN redlist currently lists O. longipenis as Least Concern.[4] References1. ^Common names of Ophichthus longipenis at www.fishbase.org. {{Taxonbar|from=Q2725218}}{{Ophichthidae-stub}}2. ^1 2 Ophichthus longipenis at www.fishbase.org. 3. ^McCosker, J.
