Family GRIMPOTEUTHIDIDAE O’Shea, 1999
- GRIMPOTEUTHIDIDAE O’Shea, 1999.
Type genus:
Grimpoteuthis Robson, 1932.
Introduction
There is some disagreement in the validity of the family, as Hochberg et al. (2014) recognised it as a synonym of Opisthoteuthidae Verrill, 1896, whereas Verhoeff & O'Shea (2022) more recently recognised it as valid without justification.
