Re-evaluation of Graneledone setebos (Cephalopoda : Octopodidae) and allocation to the genus Megaleledone
The holotype of the Antarctic octopodid Graneledone setebos was re-examined and found to lack the epidermal warts characteristic of the genus Graneledone. It is similar in its large size to another Southern Ocean species, Megaleledone senoi. A comparative study of G. setebos and specimens attributed...
