Abstract
ABSTRACT New deep-sea finned octopods (Octopoda: Cirrata) in the genera Stauroteuthis and Cirrothauma (Cirroteuthidae) are reported from Australian waters. One new species of Stauroteuthis, S. kengrahami n. sp., is reported from southeastern Australia, a second, S. ?gilchristi from off Macquarie Island, and one specimen collected from off Heard Island is provisionally referred to Cirrothauma magna. A single female Luteuthis dentatus (Grimpoteuthididae) is also reported from Macquarie Island, and additional specimens of Grimpoteuthis greeni are reported from the Great Australian Bight. These new records and new species increase the diversity of Australian cirrate octopuses from six to 10 species, covering all recognised cirrate genera excepting Cryptoteuthis, and emphasise how much remains to be learned regarding Australia’s deep-sea cephalopods.
期刊介绍：
Molluscan Research is an international journal for the publication of authoritative papers and review articles on all aspects of molluscan research, including biology, systematics, morphology, physiology, ecology, conservation, biogeography, genetics, molecular biology and palaeontology.
While the scope of the journal is worldwide, there is emphasis on studies relating to Australasia and the Indo-west Pacific, including East and South East Asia. The journal’s scope includes revisionary papers, monographs, reviews, theoretical papers and briefer communications. Monographic studies of up to 73 printed pages may also be considered.
The journal has been published since 1957 (as the Journal of the Malacological Society of Australia until 1993). It is free to members of the Malacological Society of Australasia and the Society for the Study of Molluscan Diversity.
