Todarodes is a genus of flying squid from the subfamily Todarodinae, of which it is the type genus.[1] 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.[2]
