Sepia chirotrema is a species of cuttlefish native to the southern Indo-Pacific, specifically from Investigator Strait, southern Australia ( 35°25′S137°22′E / 35.417°S 137.367°E / -35.417; 137.367 ) to Dirk Hartog Island, western Australia ( 25°45′S113°03′E / 25.750°S 113.050°E / -25.750; 113.050 ). It lives at a depth of between 120 and 210 m. [4]

Sepia chirotrema grows to a mantle length of approximately 200 mm. [4]

The type specimen was collected in the Investigator Strait area ( 35°25′S137°22′E / 35.417°S 137.367°E / -35.417; 137.367 ), south of Kangaroo Island ( 35°50′S137°15′E / 35.833°S 137.250°E / -35.833; 137.250 ). It was deposited at the Australian Museum in Sydney but no longer exists. [5]
