C . Psychroteuthis
1. Psychroteuthie glacialis Thiele, 1921
Only known from the type specimens taken from penguin and
Weddel seal stomachs in the Antarctic (Thiele, 1921). The largest
has a mantle length of 44.0 cm. Both third arms are hectocotylized
in the mature male.
D. Alluroteuthis
1. Alluroteuthis antarcticus Odhner, 1923
A rare species recovered from two sectors of the Antarctic; from the
Atlantic sector at 63'26'5 45'39'W and 64'1'5 50'30'W (Oaner, 1923)
and from the Indian Ocean sector at 64"32'S 75'65'E, 66'35'5 61'13'E
and 63'51'5 54'16% (Dell, 1959a). These were caught in open nets
fished between depths of 2 800 m and 750 m. They are all about
1.5 to 2.7 cm in mantle length and it is possible that they are all
juveniles (Dell, 1959a). Another named species Parateuthis tunicata
Thiele, 1921, recovered from the Indian Ocean sector of the Antarctic
may prove to be a juvenile of the same species (Odhner, 1923).
VIII. VALBYTEUTHIDAE
A. Valbyteuthis
1. Valbyteuthis danae Joubin, 1931
Gulf of Panama at 7'30'N, 79'19'W. (Joubin, 1931).

The species of this genus are not at all well known; those which
seem reasonably distinct have been retained below but a revision may
reduce some to synonyms.
