Remarks.
A form figured subsequently (Monterosato, 1914b: pl. XI, fig. 2), usually regarded to fall within the morphological range of
Argonauta argo
Linnaeus, 1758, (e.g.
Biagi, 1978
: 130), and therefore listed among its synonyms (see, e. g.,
Sabelli
et al.
,
1990
–1992: 347; CLEMAM: Gofas & le Renard, 2017; MolluscaBase, 2018).
