The more distal enlarged suckers of peculiar shape (Fig. i3e), being elongated and attached by long stalks. Distal suckers minute, arranged quadriserially. Arrangement of suckers on ventrolateral arms generally the same as that on dorsolateral arms, but a number of quadriserial rows of suckers present on middle third of arm. Enlarged suckers not as large (relative to those at arm base) as on dorsolateral arms. On right ventral arm, suckers on basal third arranged as on lateral arms. Quadriserial suckers present on middle third, followed by three to eight biserial rows; then about five biserial rows of suckers larger than those immediately proximal to them, but not as large as basal suckers. Minute suckers at tip of arm also biserial, unlike those of lateral arms. Left ventral arm of male hectocotylized. One to three normal suckers at base followed by modified region, extending approximately halfway along arm, which is transversely wrinkled and bears minute suckers laterally: seven pairs of.
