We need a cephalopod name that starts with 'e', and trolling through taxonomies seems like a great thing to crowdsource. :) So far I've found a few latin names, but the main problem is that I can't find a single large list of species with the common names listed. Wikipedia's taxonomy seems the best so far, but it's still a lot of browsing required as cephalopoda is a huge class. The only common name I've found is elbow (elbow squid), but elbow is not a very fun name. Suggestions welcome! elbow (elbow squid) https://www.google.com/search?q=enteroctopus&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=pzuNUd37McnjigLfu4D4Dw&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1916&bih=1082#tbm=isch&sa=1&q=elbow+squid&oq=elbow+squid&gs_l=img.3..0j0i24.80753.82074.2.82218.11.8.0.3.3.0.72.416.8.8.0...0.0...1c.1.12.img.U2rs4lakA-A&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.46340616,d.cGE&fp=aa2ea750bee51b45&biw=1916&bih=1082 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfin_squid http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/11/081124-giant-squid-magnapinna.html enteroctopus (giant octopus) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_octopus http://eol.org/pages/61628/overview https://www.google.com/search?q=enteroctopus&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=pzuNUd37McnjigLfu4D4Dw&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1916&bih=1082 elegent or elegans (sepia elegans, elegent cuttlefish) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sepia_elegans.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepia_(genus) (see sepia elegans, elegant cuttlefish) it's another cuttlefish, though, so, meh. eledone http://eol.org/pages/51263/overview https://www.google.com/search?q=enteroctopus&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=pzuNUd37McnjigLfu4D4Dw&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1916&bih=1082#tbm=isch&sa=1&q=eledone&oq=eledone&gs_l=img.3..0l3j0i24.15244.15821.0.15909.7.6.0.0.0.0.145.442.5j1.6.0...0.0...1c.1.12.img.VazRyuNNsiQ&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.46340616,d.cGE&fp=aa2ea750bee51b45&biw=1916&bih=1082 euaxoctopus http://eol.org/pages/49675/overview exannulatus (octopus exannulatus) http://eol.org/pages/491114/overview _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
