In the female of the above list, the arm-formula is not constant, 

 being 2>3 = 1 =4, or 2>1 =3>4, or 2>3>1 >4. The second arms 

 are only slightly longer than the others and not so peculiarly elongat- 

 ed nor otherwise characterized as in the males; this causes the speci- 

 men to closely resemble Sepia Icohiensis in appearance.
