Mobydickia gen. nov. Arnold and Fernández-Álvarez Diagnosis: Same as family. Etymology: Mobydickia gen. nov. is erected after the fictional albino sperm whale ‘Moby-Dick’ (Melville 1851), as the squid specimen is depigmented, almost lacking chromatophores, and was collected from the stomach content of a sperm whale hunted by whalers.
