Chapter 32). Note the 4 stumpy arms with a single sucker, the saclike funnel, the general form of the head, and the translucent gills, anus and ink sac. Such a larva is the ultimate, still viable simplification of young Teuthoidea (cf. Figure 8E c. TYPICAL POSTEMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT An idea of the earliest postembryonic stages of Oegopsida can be obtained by comparing Figure 111, Figure 67, and the youngest "larvae" of Ctenop- teryx, Pyroteuthis, and Calliteuthis (see also Vol. II, Plates VIII, XI, XII). These are very small, delicate animals (2-3 mm) with a saclike 5110 A 218.
