Austrorossia is a genus of bobtail squid encompassing five species.
Sepiolidae is a family of bobtail squid encompassing 15 genera in three or four subfamilies.
Euprymna tasmanica, also known as the southern dumpling squid or southern bobtail squid, is a bobtail squid that lives in the shallow temperate coastal waters of southern Australia's continental shelf. It lives for between 5 and 8 months and the adults can grow up to 6 or 7 cm long with a mantle length of 3 to 4 cm. They are found in seagrass beds or areas with soft silty or muddy bottoms from Brisbane on the east coast to Shark Bay on the west, as well as around Tasmania. Southern dumpling squid are nocturnal and during the day hide in sand or mud covered in a mucus-lined coat of sediment. If disturbed acid glans can quickly remove this coat as an additional decoy to ink squirting.
Stoloteuthis is a small genus of bobtail squid in the family Sepiolidae and the subfamily Heteroteuthidinae with one species, Stoloteuthis leucoptera, which is found in the western and eastern Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Antarctic Ocean and the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The other species, Stoloteuthis japonica. was described in 2011 from a type specimen collected off northeastern Honshu.
Austrorossia mastigophora is a species of bobtail squid native to western, southern and eastern Africa, from Guinea and Somalia to the Cape of Good Hope. A doubtful record of this species exists from Chile. It lives at depths to approximately 640 m.
Idiosepiidae is a family of mollusk in the class Cephalopoda. This family appears to be related to the cuttlefish in the order Sepiida and the bobtail squid in the order Sepiolida but the exact placement of this family within the Decapodiformes is incertae sedis.
Heteroteuthidinae is a subfamily of bobtail squid encompassing five genera and around ten species.
Rossiinae is a subfamily of bobtail squid encompassing four genera and around twenty species.
Sepiolinae is a subfamily of bobtail squid encompassing 5 genera and more than 30 species.
Rossia palpebrosa, also known as the warty bobtail squid, is a species of bobtail squid native to the northern Atlantic Ocean.
Neorossia is a genus of bobtail squid comprising two species.
Semirossia is a genus of bobtail squid comprising three species.
Iridoteuthis is a genus of bobtail squid comprising two species.
Sepietta is a genus of bobtail squid comprising three species.
Sepioloidea is a genus of cuttlefish comprising three species.
Austrorossia enigmatica is a species of bobtail squid native to the southeastern Atlantic Ocean; it occurs off the coast of southern Africa from Namibia to Cape Province. It lives at depths from 276 to 400 m.
Sepiolina nipponensis, also known as the Japanese bobtail squid, is a bobtail squid and the only species in the genus Sepiolina. It is found in the Western Pacific in apparently widely separated populations, the most southerly of which is in the Great Australian Bight in South Australia and West Australia and then there are populations from the Philippines northwards to Taiwan, Fujian and southern Honshū.
Sepiolina is a small genus of bobtail squid in the family Sepiolidae and the subfamily Heteroteuthidinae from the western Pacific Ocean.
Sepiolina petasus is a species of bobtail squid in the genus Sepiolina in the subfamily Heteroteuthidinae of the family Sepiolidae. It was originally collected in the Pacific Ocean near the Okinawa Islands. It was found to be sympatric with Sepiolina nipponensis but differs from that species by its relatively elongated posterior mantle, leading to more anteriorly situated fins.
Austrorossia australis, often called the big bottom bobtail squid, is a species of bobtail squid in the family Sepiolidae. This species lives in sandy and muddy environments from 131 to 665 meters deep, in waters away from South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and Queensland.
