A", is a species of bigfin squid known from only two specimens collected in the northern Atlantic Ocean.

It is characterised by several unique morphological features: the tentacle bases are narrower than adjacent arm bases, the proximal tentacle lacks suckers but possesses glandular structures, and the animal's pigment is contained mostly in functional chromatophores.

The holotype, deposited in the National Museum of Natural History (cat.
