Sepiola atlantica Orbigny, 1839
Largest reported mantle length is 21 mm. It is a necto-benthic shelf species, which lives down to 200 m water depth. Distribution is in low boreal to tropical waters in the eastern Atlantic, along the European and African shores. It is rarely found north of the North Sea, but occasionally it enters the low Arctic and was reported from Icelandic waters by Bruun, 1945. It is a rather well studied species.
