Abstract
Opisthoteuthis bruuni is herein recorded from the northeastern Pacific off California, the specimens of this taxon from the northeastern Pacific were previously considered as new species (though never published) by the late F. G. (Eric) Hochberg, whose data and illustrations are posthumously included herein. The specimens are morphologically and genetically comparable to O. bruuni from the southeastern Pacific, supporting a range extension of the species from Chile and Peru, northwards to waters off California.
