Neorossia is a genus of bobtail squid comprising two species.
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.
The bobtail snipe eels are two species of deep-sea eels in the family Cyematidae, one only in each of two genera. They are small elongate fishes, growing up to 16cm in length.
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.
Sepietta oweniana is a common marine mollusc from the order Sepiida, the cuttlefish.
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.
Austrorossia is a genus of bobtail squid encompassing five species.
Semirossia is a genus of bobtail squid comprising three species.
Iridoteuthis is a genus of bobtail squid comprising two species.
Euprymna is a genus of bobtail squid comprising a number of species.
Sepietta is a genus of bobtail squid comprising three species.
Sepioloidea is a genus of cuttlefish comprising three species.
Neorossia leptodons is a species of bobtail squid native to the southwestern Pacific Ocean, from New South Wales to South Australia. It lives at depths from 130 to 1,110 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.
Neorossia caroli, the Carol bobtail squid, is a species of bobtail squid belonging to the family Sepiolidae.
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.
Rossia is a genus of 10 species of benthic bobtail squid in the family Sepioidae found in all oceans. They live at depths greater than 50 m and can grow up to 9 cm in mantle length. This genus was first discovered in 1832 by Sir John Ross and his nephew James Clark Ross in the Arctic Seas, showing a resemblance to another genus under the same family, Sepiola. After returning from their expedition, Sir Richard Owen officially classified Rossia to be a new genus, naming it after Sir John and James Clark Ross.
