Myrophinae
Myrophinae, the worm eels, is a subfamily of ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Ophichthidae, which also includes the snake eels in the subfamily Ophichthinae. Taxonomy Myrophinae was first proposed as a subfamily by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup in 1856. It is one of two subfamilies, alongside the subfamily Ophichthinae in the family Ophichthidae, which is classified within the suborder Congroidei within the eel order Anguilliformes. Genera The Myrophinae contains the following genera: * '' Ahlia'' D. S.
