Sepioloidea lineolata or more commonly known as the striped pyjama squid or the striped dumpling squid is a type of bottletail squid that inhabits the Indo-Pacific Oceans of Australia. Although traditionally falling within Sepiida, the cuttlefish order, it lacks a cuttlebone. More recent phylogenomic evidence suggests bottletail and bobtail squid may form their own order, Sepiolida. The striped pyjama squid lives on the seafloor and is both venomous and poisonous. When fully mature, a striped pyjama squid will only be about 7 to 8 centimetres in length. Baby striped pyjama squid can be smaller than 10 millimetres (0.39 in).
