The wrinkled snake-eel[2] (Ophichthus rugifer) is an eel in the family Ophichthidae (worm/snake eels).[3] It was described by David Starr Jordan and Charles Harvey Bollman in 1890.[4] It is a marine, tropical eel which is known from the eastern central and southeastern Pacific Ocean, including the Galapagos Islands and the Cocos Islands. It is also speculated to occur in Malpelo Island.[3] It is known to dwell at a depth of {{convert|200|m|ft}}, and inhabits sediments of sand and rubble.[2] Males can reach a maximum total length of {{convert|68|cm|in}}.[3]

The species epithet "rugifer" is Latin in origin, and refers to the longitudinal striations that can be easily observed on larger specimens.[3] Due to a lack of known threats and observed population decline, the IUCN redlist currently lists the Wrinkled snake-eel as Least Concern.[2]
