sanpaulensis, Loligo Brakoniecki, 1984

Loligo sanpaulensis Brakoniecki, 1984: 441–446 (figs 3–4).

Cephalopoda, Loliginidae

Paratype: MZSP 18498.

Paratype: MZSP 18499.

Localities: Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, off Chuí, 34°20' S, 174 m depth, Nov. 1974.

Preservation: 70% ethanol.

Remarks:The specimens listed above were confirmed as types after the previous compilation ( Dornellas & Simone 2011). Brakoniecki (1984) attributed two catalogue numbers (MZSP 18498, MZSP 18499) for a single specimen in the original description. In a subsequent paper on the MZSP cephalopod collection, Perez & Haimovici (1991) reported another lot as a paratype (MZSP 18601). However, Brakoniecki (1984) originally listed this lot as “other material”, therefore not formally designating it as a paratype. This species was recombined as Doryteuthis sanpaulensis by Vecchione et al. (1998).
