(FIVE SPECIES IN THREE GENERA)
Diagnosis: Small to medium adult-sized Enoploteuthoidea with five ocular photophores and a variable number of tentacular photophores; anal, branchial, abdominal and posteroabdominal photophores present; usually with sexual dimorphism; without hectocotylus; with one or two terminal organs of male reproductive tract.
Synonym: Thaumatolampadidae Chun, 1903
Remarks: Voss (1962) stated that because the name Thaumatolampadidae had not been used for nearly 50 years this name should not be maintained regardless of possible priority (see also Vecchione & Young, 2019a).
