Stauroteuthis kengrahami

Stauroteuthis kengrahami is a species of small pelagic cirrate octopus.

It is currently only known from off eastern Australia (Tasman Sea).

[1][2] Stauroteuthis kengrahami, is generally similar to the other species in the genus.

It is principally distinguished by having the cirri (long finger-like projections flanking the suckers) terminating at a much more distal sucker, but there are other differences in its V-shaped shell, and digestive system.

Stauroteuthis kengrahami is known from a single specimen collected off the coast at Batemans Bay, New South Wales, Australia, at a depth of 940–975 metres (3,080–3,200 ft).
