Genera and subgenera

Sepiidae is a family of cephalopods in the order Sepiida. It includes 116 recognized species, a few of which need further verification.

A 2023 paper revived several genera and elevated some subgenera to full genus level;[3] this classification scheme has been accepted by WoRMS.[4] This page has not been updated to reflect that change.
