Notes
- A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Opisthoteuthis.
gollark: 10 (base 18), but same idea.
gollark: I actually did #10 though. All my talk of how it was boring was mere misdirection.
gollark: LyricLy is truly amazing in a strange way.
gollark: As I said, I diverted them to GTech™ Antimemetic Site-9101C to make LyricLy tired when [REDACTED].
gollark: apio = square root?
