FAMILY BATOTEUTHIDAE YOUNG & ROPER, 1968 View in CoL

(ONE SPECIES)

Diagnosis: Medium adult-sized Chiroteuthoidea with arm suckers in two series and tentacle suckers in six series, spanning 80% of tentacle length; photophores in aboral surface of ventral arm tips (large in males, small in females); distinctly curved funnel–mantle locking apparatus; long, unadorned tail supported by secondary conus of gladius.

Remarks: Not included in our phylogenetic analyses, but its position within the superfamily is supported provisionally by its morphology ( Young & Roper, 1968; Young & Vecchione, 2019c) and the phylogenetic results of Lindgren (2010) and Lindgren et al. (2012).
