62-164; females with higher average counts than 
males (Table 6). 
Left ventral arm of male hectocotylised: sucker 
size normal proximally, reduced distally, then 
normal to arm tip (Figure 11C, compare with 
Figure 11D); from proximal to distal end of arm, 1 
row of normal suckers (slightly larger than rest), 8- 
11 rows of reduced suckers; suckers in 2 dorsal 
series smaller than rest in series (dorsal-marginal 
series slightly larger than dorso-medial series); 
reduction marked, maximum and minimum sucker 
diameters hectocotylised arm, ASInl4 0.73- 0.93 - 
1.19 (SD, 0.16), ASInMm 0.36-0.63-0.87 (SD, 0.18) 
(compare with non-hectocotylised arms Table 6); 2 
dorsal and 2 ventral series of suckers widely 
spaced. Oral surface wide, fleshy, with transversely 
grooved ridges (Figure 11C); without distinct

(SD, 1), females 7; 22-37 suckers in longitudinal 
series, TrRC males 22-27-32 (SD, 3), females 24- 
29-37 (SD, 4.2). Suckers small differ slightly in size; 
(Figure 12A); C1SI males 0.77-1.01-1.27 (SD, 0.15), 
females 0.70 -1.05- 1.28 (SD, 0.17); dorsal-marginal 
series of suckers slightly larger than those in 
ventral-marginal series row; CISId males 0.70- 
0.85-1.05 (SD, 0.10), females 0.63-0.76-0.94 (SD,
