Todarodinae

Todarodes is a genus of flying squid from the subfamily Todarodinae, of which it is the type genus. The genus contains five species which are partially allopatric but between them their distributions encompass most of the world's oceans and seas. These squid have a funnel groove with foveola, a hectocotylised fourth arm and tentacular stalks which lack free trabeculae.

Martialia is a genus of flying squids in the family Ommastrephidae. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Martialia hyadesii, commonly known as the sevenstar flying squid. It has a maximum mantle length of 400 mm, although it is typically 350 mm, with a body weighing up to 820 g.

Nototodarus is a genus of squid. Example species in this genus include Nototodarus sloanii, a species sought for human food. In the process of harvesting N. sloanii, Australian sea lions are frequently killed, since that marine mammal preys upon this squid species. Furthermore, New Zealand arrow squid, N. sloanii, is an important food source for the endangered yellow-eyed penguin, Megadyptes antipodes.
