	Chiroteuthidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chiroteuthidae are most notable for their unique paralarval stage, known as the doratopsis stage (see Life history).
		Although morphology varies greatly within the family, the Chiroteuthidae are distinguished by their extremely elongate bodies and (in most species) tentacles; the latter may be up to four times the mantle length in Asperoteuthis acanthoderma.
		The head is atop an elongate neck and the brachial pillar is well-developed, the eyes large; in some Planctoteuthis and all Chiroteuthis species, the fourth pair of arms possess both greater girth and length than the other arms.

	Planctoteuthis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The type species, Planctoteuthis danae, was originally placed in a new genus, Valbyteuthis, within a new family, Valbyteuthidae, by Joubin (1931).
		Roper and Young (1967) placed Valbyteuthis in the family Chiroteuthidae noting the similarity of Valbyteuthis paralarvae to those of Chiroteuthis.
		Young (1991) recognized that some paralarvae of Valbyteuthis had been previously descibed by Pfeffer (1912) as members of his new genus, Planctoteuthis, within the Chiroteuthidae.
