Family GRIMPOTEUTHIDAE O'Shea, 1999
- Grimpoteuthidae O'Shea, 1999.
Introduction
The original spelling for this family name was Grimpoteuthididae, based on the stem -teuthid of the type genus. However, ICZN Art. 29.3.1.1 states that, 'If the stem so formed ends in -id, those letters may be elided before adding the family-group suffixes.' The family name based on Grimpoteuthis is here spelled Grimpoteuthidae for consistency with other cephalopod family group names.
