Nototeuthis is a monotypic genus of squid, in the family Neoteuthidae. The only species in this genus is Nototeuthis dimegacotyle . This species is characterised by short tentacular clubs, less than 40% of the length of the mantle, and relatively long fins, which are approximately 60% of the mantle length. The tentacle clubs have two greatly enlarged suckers on distal portion of the manus, which distinguish N. dimegacotyle from other members of the Neoteuthidae.[3] Few specimens of this species are currently known. Specimens have been collected from the south eastern Pacific Ocean, off Chile,[3] between the Southern Subtropical and the Antarctic Polar frontal zones.[1] This species is mesopelagic to bathypelagic and can be found from near the surface to a depth of ~500m.[4]
