Sepia irvingi is a species of cuttlefish native to the southeastern Indian Ocean, specifically western Australia, from Cockburn Sound to North West Shelf ( 18°49′S118°29′E / 18.817°S 118.483°E / -18.817; 118.483 ). It lives at a depth of between 130 and 170 m. [4]

Sepia irvingi grows to a mantle length of 100 mm. [4]

The type specimens were collected off Garden Island, Cockburn Sound ( 32°11′S115°43′E / 32.183°S 115.717°E / -32.183; 115.717 ), Port Royal, King George Sound ( 35°03′S117°58′E / 35.050°S 117.967°E / -35.050; 117.967 ), and Warnbro Sound ( 32°20′S115°43′E / 32.333°S 115.717°E / -32.333; 115.717 ) in South Africa. They are deposited at the Western Australian Museum in Perth. [5]
