Etymology: Ogilbia: Taken from Ogilby, 1887-1915, icthiologist and zoologist (Ref. 45335); boehlkei: Named for the late Dr. James E. Böhlke, Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.
Eponymy: James Douglas Ogilby (1853–1925) was an Irish-born Australian ichthyologist and taxonomist, son of the famous zoologist William Ogilby (below). [...] James Erwin Böhlke (1930–1982) and his wife Eugenia Louisa Böhlke née Brandt (1929–2001) were both ichthyologists who worked at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, where he was Curator of Ichthyology (1954–1982).

Descrição suscinta
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raios dorsais (total) : 75 - 84; Raios anais : 54 - 64; Vértebras: 42 - 45. This species is characterized by the following: Vertebrae 12-13 + 29-33 = 42-45, dorsal fin rays 75-84, anal fin rays 54-64; outer pseudoclasper is wingshaped with a curved supporter anteriorly; inner pseudoclasper club-shaped, with prominent appendix inserted at posterodistal angle; a small fleshy lobe at base of hood adjacent to outer pseudoclasper; opercular spine very broad, usually 2-4 furcated in large (> 50 mm SL) specimens; scale patch on cheeks with 5-7 vertical scale rows; head and body mucus with dark brown pigment globules, especially near anal opening (Ref. 57883).
Inhabits coral reefs. A 62 mm SL female specimen (ANSP 115182) contained about 100 embryos (3-4 mm TL) and about 50 eggs (diameter 0.5 mm). The embryos with brown eyes, but no pigmentation on head and body is probably due to the 44 years of preservation (Ref. 57883).
