Abstract
Examination of specimens of 'Sepioloidea' d'Orbigny, 1845, from northern Australia led to the discovery of a new species. It is described here as 'Sepioloidea magna' sp. nov. It is distinguished from the other nominal 'Sepioloidea' species, 'S. lineolata' (Quoy and Gaimard, 1832) and 'S. pacifica' (Kirk, 1882), by its size, number of tentacular club suckers, absence of obvious colour pattern and the modification of the hectocotylus.
