FAMILY
PROMACHOTEUTHIDAE
NAEF, 1912
(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
).
