Grimpoteuthis innominata, commonly known as the small jellyhead,[3] is a species of small, pelagic octopus described by Steve O'Shea in 1999 from two specimens,[4] however several further specimens have since been identified.[5] The genus Enigmateuthis was described to contain this species when described, but Martin Collins placed the species in the genus Grimpoteuthis due to uncertainty regarding the type specimen of Grimpoteuthis.[6]
