''Teuthowenia'' is a genus of glass squid in the subfamily Taoniinae. Members of this genus are characterized by their deep-sea habitat, clear bodies, and ability to engorge themselves with water to become larger when threatened. Each known species has a visible digestive gland, which serves a similar purpose as a stomach and liver. It includes three species: *''Teuthowenia maculata'' (Leach, 1817) - found in the tropical waters of the eastern Atlantic Ocean. *''Teuthowenia megalops'' (Prosch, 1849) - found in the subarctic, temperate, and (rarely) subtropical waters of the northern Atlantic Ocean. *''Teuthowenia pellucida'' (Chun, 1910) - found throughout the oceans of the southern hemisphere. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teuthowenia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
