Taningia is a genus of squid in the family Octopoteuthidae. For over 150 years, it has been believed to comprise a single species known as Taningia danae. Recently it has been shown to contain at least two new species (T. fimbria, T. rubea).[2] Another species, Taningia persica, has historically been referred to but has been questioned.
This genus is named after Danish fisheries biologist Åge Vedel Tåning (1890-1958).[3]
