Abstract

The structure and location of the seminal receptacles of 14 species of Abralia, eight species of Abraliopsis, three species of Enoploteuthis, and Watasenia scintillans (Berry), of the family Enoploteuthidae, are described. Although the receptacles in Abralia, Abraliopsis, and Watasenia are situated on the dorsal side of females in the proximity of the collar, they exhibit variability in specialization and position. The receptacles of Enoploteuthis are less specialized and are situated elsewhere within the mantle cavity.
