| Euprymna stenodactyla (Grant, 1833) |
Euprymna stenodactyla is a species of bobtail squid. It is probably the largest species in the order Sepiolida, growing to a mantle length of 19 cm.[1]
E. stenodactyla is native to the Indian Ocean. It is known with certainty only from Mauritius, although there exist doubtful records of this species from the Indo-west Pacific Ocean, from Mascarene Islands to Queensland, Australia and Polynesia.[2]
The type specimen was collected off Mauritius. The type repository is unknown.[3]
