. Cephalopoda. Cephalopoda. FIGURE 136. Abralia veranyi. Young specimen collected in Naples on 25 October 1908. No. 70 of the Zoological Station. Natural size, slightly diagrammatic. Note the general proportions, the attachment of the (darker) apex of the body (Sp) to the mantle sac (Ms), form of fins and mantle, the contracted primary eyelid, structure of arms and clubs, and the distri- bution of luminous tubercles (indicated as dots and rings). The primary eyelid is contracted to a transverse slit, as is often the case in typical Oegopsida; a sinus is not recognizable. Buccal funnel and arm
. Cephalopoda. Cephalopoda. FIGURE 136. Abralia veranyi. Young specimen collected in Naples on 25 October 1908. No. 70 of the Zoological Station. Natural size, slightly diagrammatic. Note the general proportions, the attachment of the (darker) apex of the body (Sp) to the mantle sac (Ms), form of fins and mantle, the contracted primary eyelid, structure of arms and clubs, and the distri- bution of luminous tubercles (indicated as dots and rings). The primary eyelid is contracted to a transverse slit, as is often the case in typical Oegopsida; a sinus is not recognizable. Buccal funnel and arm apparatus resemble those of the adult. The whole body is covered with superficial luminous organs. They are especially densely and uniformly distributed on the ventral side of the mantle; a free median stripe is not noticeable. The distribution is similar on the ventral side of the head, but the organs are larger and symmetrically distributed. A row of luminous tubercles is situated at the lid margin; 3 longitudinal rows extend along the ventral arms, and also a number of scattered organs, especially on the base of these arms. On the dorsal side there are luminous tubercles between the fins, on the base of the fins, on the anterior part of the mantle, on the head and on the bases of the DL and VL arms. The dorsal organs, however, are more sparsely distributed than on the ventral side. The 5 large luminous organs of the eyeball are present, but they are not visible from the outside (Figure 134). 265.
