Loligopsis veranii now known as Chiroteuthis veranii (Férussac, 1834). According Carl Chun: "This is one of the most splendid deep-sea Cephalopoda. It was discovered by Verany, who found a specimen with large arms and large, whiplike tentacles on the surface of the sea near Nice on 14 April 1834. Verany sent his specimen with a description and a drawing to Ferussac, who was just planning the publication of his comprehensive work on the Cephalopods. Ferussac reported on Verany's discovery on 27 October 1834 before the Academie des Sciences and described the new species as Loligopsis veranyi."
