Vampire squid ( Vampyroteuthis infernalis ) are considered phylogenetic relics with cephalopod features of both octopods and squids. They lack feeding tentacles, but in addition to their eight arms, they have two retractile filaments, the exact functions of which have puzzled scientists for years. We present the results of investigations on the feeding ecology and behaviour of Vampyroteuthis , which include extensive in situ , deep-sea video recordings from MBARI's remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), laboratory feeding experiments, ...

Vumpyroteuthis infernalis Chun is the sole member of the cephalopod subclass Vampyromorpha. The three putative types of photophore (fin base, dorsomedial or composite, and skin nodules) are described and it is concluded that the composite organ is not a light‐emitting structure. It has structural similarities to an extra‐ocular photoreceptor. The fin‐base photophore is capable of being everted from the pigmented pit in which it is seated. Its surface bears chromatophores which may modulate the emission ...

Sperm ultrastructure in the rare deep-sea cephalopod Vampyroteuthis infernails is described, based on formalin-fixed material held in the Australian Museum (Sydney). The species is the sole member of the coleoidean order Vampyromorpha, which represents a level of organization intermediate between that of the Sepioidea-Teuthoidea and the Octopoda. Spermatozoa of Vampyroteuthis , the simplest observed in any cephalopod, exhibit the following features: (1) a spheroidal acrosome lacking any complex substructure; ( ...

The statocyst shows a remarkable combination of features of decapods and octopods confirming that Vampyroteuthis is a relic somewhere near the ancestor of both groups. The lining of the statocyst separates from the outer wall, forming an inner sac, filled with endolymph, surrounded by perilymph. This is the condition found in octopods, never in decapods. The macula is partly divided into a macula princeps and macula neglecta, as in decapods but never in octopods. There are numerous statoconia, but ...
