[Since the above was written, Pfeffer : o8a, has just published 



the view that Onychoteuthis armata, Quoy & Gaimard, and 



Onychoteuthis morisii, Verany, are congeneric with Abraliopsis 



hoylei: if this be so, then, since the first named is the type of 



Gray's Abralia, this generic name must be applied to these 



three species, and the name Abraliopsis must lapse. Enoploteuthis 



veranyi and E. oweni, which have of late been placed in Abralia, 



are generically distinct from the three first-named, and the 



generic name Asteroteuthis is proposed for their reception. The 



question must stand over for future discussion : the adoption 



of Pfeffer's view would result in the following arrangement : — 



Abralia, Gray, 1849 : A. armata (Q. & G.), A. morisii (Ver.), A. 

 hoylei (Pfr. ). 



Asteroteuthis, Pfeffer, 1908 : A. veranyi (Kiipp.), A. oiveni (Ver.). 



Pfeffer regards the last two species as identical, and adopts 

 the name A. veranyi, dating from 1844, and thus having two 

 years priority over A. oweni, which was, I believe, published in 

 1846 {see Yerany, '46, p. 29, pi. iv. figs. 2, 3)].
