Octopodiformes is a superorder of the subclass
total group (all cephalopods closer to octopods than to true squid). Another term is Octobranchia, referring to cephalopods without prominent tentacles.[4]
It is considered one of the two extant groups of the Neocoleoidea.[2]
Syllipsimopodi has a combination of squid-like features (like 10 arms) and octopod-like features (like biserial suckers and a simplified internal shell).[4]
