Iridoteuthis iris is a species of bobtail squid[2] native to the northern central Pacific Ocean; it occurs near the Hawaiian Islands off the southeast and northwest Hancock, Colahan, and Kammu seamounts.

Unlike most other bobtail squid, I. iris is pelagic and lives in the open ocean.

[3] The type specimen was collected off the south coast of Molokai in Hawaii.

It was originally deposited at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., but is no longer extant.
