Spelling The original spelling for this family name was Grimpoteuthididae, based on the stem -teuthid of the type genus. However, ICZN Art. 29.3.1.1 states that << If the stem so formed ends in -id, those letters may be elided before adding the family-group suffixes. >> The family name based on Grimpoteuthis is here spelled Grimpoteuthidae for consistency with other cephalopod family group names.
