Sepietta petersi, also known as the mysterious bobtail, is a species of bobtail squid native to the Mediterranean Sea. A doubtful record of S. petersi also exists from the Atlantic Ocean off Morocco. [1]
The type specimen was collected in the Adriatic Sea and is deposited at the Zoologiska Museet in Uppsala, Sweden. [2]
S. petersi has been described as a doubtful species and was considered a senior synonym of Sepietta obscura by Kir Nesis. [3] A redescription of S. petersi and S. obscura is needed to determine the status of these two taxa. [1] Other authorities consider it to be a synonym of Sepietta oweniana. [4]
