FAMILY PROMACHOTEUTHIDAE NAEF, 1912 View in CoL

(THREE SPECIES IN ONE GENUS)

Diagnosis: Chiroteuthoidea with reduced eyes covered by pseudocorneas; with enlarged buccal masses and beaks; arm suckers in two or three series, sometimes more near arm tips; tentacles with thick stalks and with multiple irregular series of suckers; funnel–mantle locking apparatus oval; without photophores; without ink sac and anal flaps; gladius sometimes reduced.

Remarks: Not included in our phylogenetic analyses, but its position within the superfamily is provisionally supported by its morphology ( Roper & Young, 1967; Young & Vecchione, 2019c).
