Introduction
Chun (1908) described Chiroteuthis imperator from off Sumatra, Indonesia, close to the type locality of Chiroteuthis picteti. Roper and Young (1999) consider C. imperator to be a synonym of C. picteti and that decision is followed here. Some northern Australian specimens may be referred to as C. imperatorin older literature and museum collections. It is likely that 'C. picteti' is a species-complex.
