We revised the coleoid taxon Syllipsimopodi bideni and suggest that it is identical to Gordoniconus beargulchensis, which is of identical age and from the same locality because of the great degree of similarity. Seeming differences can be explained by

Few other invertebrates captivate our attention as cephalopods do. Octopods, cuttlefish, and squids amaze with their behavior and sophisticated body plans that belong to the most intriguing among mollusks. Little is, however, known about their body plan

Underlying all animal behaviors, from the simplest reflexive reactions to the more complex cognitive reasoning and social interaction, are nervous systems uniquely adapted to bodies, environments, and challenges of different animal species. Coleoid cephalopods

Few animal groups can claim the level of wonder that cephalopods instill in the minds of researchers and the general public. Much of cephalopod biology, however, remains unexplored: the largest invertebrate brain, difficult husbandry conditions, and complex
