processes larger than rest, rectangular; peripheral 
sucker rim processes radially arranged, elongate, 
without pegs (Figure 19A,B). Sucker counts range 
from 76—152; females with higher average counts 
than males (Table 9). 
Left ventral arm hectocotylised. Suckers; reduced 
proximally in size: 14 rows of suckers reduced 
(approximately, dorsal and ventral sides of 
hectocotylus differ, see Figure 20); suckers in 
dorsal marginal series smaller than remaining 
suckers (Figure 20 A,B, compare with Figure 20C); 
reduction marked, maximum and minimum sucker 
diameters: ASInl4 0.63- 0.82 -1.02 (SD, 0.14), 
ASInl4m 0.33- 0,48 -0.59 (SD, 0.09), (compare with 
non-hectocotylised arms Table 9); two dorsal and 
two ventral series of suckers widely spaced. Oral 
surface wide, fleshy, with transversely grooved 
ridges; proximal end with deep furrow between 
raised fleshy ridge formed from swollen protective 
membranes; distal to this region, protective 
membranes thin, wide, form a deep, narrow 
furrow (Figure 20B). Hectocotylised arm distally 
attenuate, compressed (as for remaining arms). 
Tentacular club approximately same length in 
males and females; C1LI males 9.3- 11.4 -14.3 (SD, 
1.9), females 9.8 -11.2 -14.9 (SD, 1.6); club crescent¬ 
shaped (very short); sucker-bearing face flattened. 
Club with 5-7 suckers in transverse rows, CIRC
