Comments: Occurs throughout Namibia (Ref. 5578). Sometimes caught by trawlers off Namibia (Ref. 5578). Bass et al. 1986 (Ref. 6577) notes that available specimens trawled in southern Africa are tentatively ascribed to O. centrina, but with comparatively shorter interdorsal distance as compared to published figures of North Atlantic specimens. The valid name may be O. shubnikovi (Ref. 27121).
