D'Orbignj', Gray and others have placed this species in the 

 genus Onykia, but Souleyet has examined the type specimen in 

 the Museum at Paris and declares that the tentacular arms 

 have no hooks, and that it is a true Loliyo. I suspect it to be 

 a 3'oung L. Pealii, and that L. plagioptera of Souleyet (figs. 14s 

 149) is a still younger state of the same species.

The tentacular suckers have equal serrations on their i'ii 

 otherwise the animal does not appear to differ from L. PcuHi. 

 In this distinctive character, however, it is like L. Gain. 'The 

 shell is narrower, however, and in the typical figure in Orbigny's 

 work is represented with straight margins to the wings, whilst 

 that of L. Poeyaims, considered a synonym, has narrow wings 



with convex margins.
