Octopoteuthidae

The Octopoteuthidae are a family of squid comprising two genera. The family is characterized by tentacles which cease to grow after the paralarval stage which leads to the adult having eight arms; thus, members of this family are commonly named as octopus squids.

Description
Octopoteuthidae is considered to be closely related to the monotypic family Lepidoteuthidae (genus Lepidoteuthis), sometimes being its sister family. The family comprises two genera. A 2019 study recovered some additional species and separates Octopoteuthis into four species groups, though further research is needed to confirm this: • Genus Octopoteuthis (spindle-shaped photophore on all arm tips; smaller bodied) ==See also==
