Ophichthus melope is an eel in the family Ophichthidae (worm/snake eels).[1] It was described by John E. McCosker and Richard Heinrich Rosenblatt in 1998.[2] It is a marine, tropical eel which is known from the eastern central and southeastern Pacific Ocean, including Colombia and Costa Rica.[3] It dwells at a depth range of Шаблон:Convert. Males can reach a maximum total length of Шаблон:Convert.[1]

The species epithet "melope" means "black cavity" in Greek, and is treated as a noun in apposition. It refers to the rings surrounding the pores.[1] Due to a lack of known threats and observed population decline, the IUCN redlist currently lists O. melope as Least Concern.[3]
