Abstract
The egg mass of the diamond-shaped squid, Thysanoteuthis rhombus (Oegopsidae: Thysanoteuthidae) was sighted in surface waters off south-east Sulawesi. It was a sinuous hollow tube-like structure about 2 m long and 0·15 m diameter. It was estimated to contain in the order of 180,000 purple eggs of 1 mm diameter with little or no yolk. Development of the embryos from early differentiation to hatching took between 47 and 57 h at about 28°C.
