Subgenera of Enoploteuthis, Abralia and Abraliopsis of the squid family Enoploteuthidae (Cephalopoda, Oegopsida)

Abstract

The subgenera in three genera of oegopsid squid family Enoploteuthidae (Enoploteuthis, Abralia and Abraliopsis) are revised. The genus Enoploteuthis contains two subgenera, Enoploteuthis s. str. and Paraenoploteuthis nov. The former subgeneric arrangement of the genus Abralia is changed. It is divisible into five subgenera, namely, Abralia s. str., Astrabralia, Asteroteuthis, Pygmabralia, and Heterabralia nov. The genus Abraliopsis consists of four subgenera. Abraliopsis s. str., Micrabralia, Boreabraliopsis nov. , and Pfefferiteuthis nov. Relationships among genera and subgenera of the family are discussed
