Abstract

Two well preserved specimens of the peculiar and poorly-understood family Promachoteuthidae captured by the USNS Eltanin have made possible a re-evaluation of its systematic position with the resulting removal of the family from the suborder Myopsida and its placement into the suborder Oegopsida. Considerations are given to the specific status, familial relationships, and habitat of the Promachoteuthidae.
