Galiteuthis glacialis
Galiteuthis is a genus of glass squids from the family Cranchiidae and the subfamily Taoniinae. Squids in the genus Galiteuthis are large squids with mantle lengths measuring up to 660 mm (26 in), although it has been suggested that mantle length could reach as much as 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in). The most distinctive feature of the speciesa in this genus are they have hooks on the tentacular clubs while there are no hooks on the arms, and by their long, thin, terminal fins.[2]
The genus contains bioluminescent species.[3]
