I was expecting the Octosquid today. ( http://www.thehawaiichannel.com/news/13630402/detail.html?rss=hon&psp=news ) Posted by: Anonymous at July 6, 2007 6:18 PM Yeah, I did too. Because I blogged about it and commented on it here not too long ago.

Posted by: asdf at July 6, 2007 8:01 PM Octosquid is a silly name. Why not Squipus ? Calapus ? etc ... Another link to the Squipus- http://starbulletin.com/2007/07/05/news/story03.html Posted by: Rob Mayfield at July 6, 2007 8:19 PM @Rob Mayfield: Posted by: Nostromo at July 7, 2007 4:32 AM As far as I can tell, the "octosquid" claims are mostly hype. It's in no way intermediate between octopus and squid; it's just a squid with no tentacles, which is not unheard of -- there are other squid species that don't have tentacles as adults. Note that they're talking about it as a possible new species in an existing genus, not a representative of a new family or order. It's cool-looking, though.

I guess Friday Squid Blogging is pretty popular!
