Abraliopsis gilchristi is a species of enoploteuthid cephalopods found in southern temperate waters of the south Pacific Ocean, from New Zealand to South Africa , where it is abundant.[1] It undergoes a vertical daily migration, spending the day at depth and moving closer to the surface at night[3] to feed on copepods, euphausiids and hyperiids. Spawning appears to occur between September and December.[1] The specific name honours the Scottish zoologist John Gilchrist (1866-1926) who was the first director of the Marine Biological Survey in Cape Town.[4] The type specimen was taken off Cape Town and is held in the Natural History Museum, London.[5]
