Summary: | Indexación: Web of Science Hooked squids (Family Onychoteuthidae Gray, 1847) inhabit all oceans of the world except the Arctic. This family is currently comprised of 25 species belonging to seven genera. In the southeastern Pacific Ocean, approximately five onychoteuthid species have been previously identified, but true identity of these taxa is uncertain. We reviewed museum collections, from Chile, United States and New Zealand, and literature to elucidate the presence of hooked squids in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. The present status of the Onychoteuthidae from the southeastern Pacific only includes four species: Onychoteuthis aequimanus, Onykia ingens, Onykia robsoni, and Kondakovia nigmatullini. RESUMEN. Los calamares ganchudos (Familia Onychoteuthidae Gray, 1847) habitan en todos los océanos excepto en el Ártico. Esta familia está compuesta actualmente de 25 especies pertenecientes a siete géneros. En el Océano Pacífico suroriental, aproximadamente cinco especies de Onychoteuthidae han sido identificadas previamente, pero su estatus taxonómico es incierto. Se revisaron las colecciones de museos de Chile, Estados Unidos y Nueva Zelanda, y la literatura para dilucidar la presencia de calamares con ganchos en el Pacífico suroriental. El estado actual de la familia Onychoteuthidae en esta área incluye solo cuatro especies: Onychoteuthis aequimanus, Onykia ingens, Onykia robsoni y Kondakovia nigmatullini. http://www.lajar.cl/pdf/imar/v44n2/Art%C3%ADculo_44_2_23.pdf |
