Treatment

Onychoteuthis brevimanus Gould, 1852: 483 , fig. 596.

Type material: Not extant [fide Johnson (1964: 32)].

Neotype: National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa ( NMNZ), New Zealand, specimen M.318162, female, 580 mm DML, beached in Princess Bay , Wellington, New Zealand on 24 May 2015. Ethanol-fixed tissues available through the accession number M.318162/1. The GenBank sequences MK995130 View Materials ( COI) and MK991817 View Materials (16S) refer to the neotype.
