XII. ENOPLOTEUTHIDAE
A. Abralia
These fall naturally into two groups; in the sub-genus Stendralia
there are the species extending from the Red Sea eastwards to Hawaii
and the South Seas A. steindachneri, A. astrosticta, A. astrolineata,
A . sparcki, A. lucens and A. renschi; in the sub-genus Asteroteuthia,
A . andamanica, A . japonica and A. trigonura from the Indo-Pacific
and A. veranyi and A . redjeldi from the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
The Japanese A. multihamata is close to Asteroteuthis but also has
affinities with A . stenabralia astrosticta (Sasaki, 1929a). A. armuta
was referred to the sub-genus Abralia by Voss (1963a).
1. Abralia andamanica Goodrich, 1896
A species recorded from the Andaman Sea (Goodrich, 1896) (Fig. 30),
the Philippines (Voss, 1963a), the Hawaiian Islands (Voss, 1963a), the
Mergui Archipelago (Massy, 1916b), 14'54% 96'13'E (Massy, 1916b)
and Japan (Sasaki, 1916, 1929a); Voss (1963a) considers that the
Japanese and Hawaiian specimens may be distinct subspecies. It
