Diagnosis

Ommastrephes with a maximal mantle length of 900 mm and weight of 25 kg; maximal spermatophore length 21–54 mm (11.15 ± 3.5% DML), cement body of spermatophore 9.8%, sperm reservoir 33% and posterior empty end 30.3% of spermatophore length. Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I diagnostic characters: 6, T; 48, G; 81, A; 153, G; 159, G; 177, C; 198, G; 228, G; 258, C; 273, G; 334, G; 366, C; 429, G; 432, C; 534, G; 573, G.

Name of the species in the phylogenetic analyses: Ommastrephes group 1.

Distribution: NorthAtlantic, confirmed with molecular tools from the Bay of Biscay (43°N) to Canary Islands (27°N), Azores (40°N) and the Mediterranean Sea ( Fig. 3). Also known to occur in the north-eastern Atlantic from the Bay of Biscay, from Scandinavia (60°N) and in the north-western Atlantic from the Gulf of Mexico (24°N) to Nova Scotia (45°N).

Remarks: The name O. caroli has been used marginally to refer some North Atlantic Ommastrephes specimens during part of the 20 th century (e.g. Rees, 1950; Lozano Soldevilla & Franquet Santaella, 1986). To the best of our knowledge, the remaining names that might be resurrected for Ommastrephes group 1 have not been used beyond their original descriptions. In accordance with ICZN Article 23.9.1.1, junior synonyms should be applied when the senior synonym or homonym has not been used as a valid name after 1899. It is important to note that the conditions described in ICZN Article 23.9.1.2 also apply here, because O. caroli has been used to refer to members of this species in>25 works authored by more than ten authors in the last 50 years ( Threlfall et al., 1971; Young, 1972; Clarke & Lu, 1974; Clarke & Stevens, 1974; Holme, 1974; Roper & Young, 1975; Clarke et al., 1976, 1979; Wormuth, 1976; Roper, 1977; Clarke, 1978; Muntz & Johnson, 1978; Pérez-Gándaras & Guerra, 1978; Arnold, 1979; Roper & Lu, 1979; Guerra & Pérez-Gándaras, 1983; Roper et al., 1984; Guerra, 1985; Martins et al., 1985; Guescini & Manfrin, 1986; Pérez-Gándaras, 1986; Lozano Soldevilla & Franquet Santaella, 1986; Clarke & Maddock, 1988; Mangold & Boletzky, 1988; Vecchione et al., 1989; Vecchione & Roper, 1991; Gouveia, 1992; Clarke, 2003). Therefore, O. caroli is hereby designated as nomen protectum and conferred on Ommastrephes group 1, while L. pironneauii and L. meridionalis are both considered senior synonyms [nomina oblita]. Tissues of the individuals of O. caroli according the sense of this article can be accessed at the Biological Reference Collections of the Institut de Ciències del Mar CBR-ICM, Barcelona, through the accession numbers ICMC000070, ICMC000110, ICMC000398 and ICMC000399.
