C megalops, Prosch, 1847. 



The generic name Owenia, proposed as a subgenus by Prosch, 

 cannot be used for this form, because, as Steenstrup ('8l, pp- 

 20-23) has pointed out, the characters on which it was based 

 belong not to a Ci-anchia at all, but to some young specimens 

 of Gonatus fahricii which had become associated with it. I 

 do not think it needful to propose another generic name, for 

 the specimen is immature, and probably near C. scah'a.

 with Galiteuthis (nide infra).

Chun, : 06a, p. 86, identifies the genus with Taonidium, Pfeffer,
