	TEXTNOTE ID=999 TITLE=Introduction TEXT='Octopods have rather short, compact bodies and only eight arms; no trace of the missing second arm pair remains even during embryonic development. Many species are benthic (bottom-living) and crawl over the ocean floor with the mouth facing the substratum. Others alternate between a benthic and a pelagic (free-swimming) habitat and some species are completely pelagic. The two suborders of Octopoda are very different in appearance but there is little doubt that it is a natural group as the monophyly of the Octopoda is supported by a large variety of characters.  The Cirrata is a group of deep-sea octopods commonly known as the "finned octopods" due to their large, wing-like fins. The Incirrata contain the common  (benthic), shallow-water octopods as well as many deep-sea benthic and pelagic species.';
	TEXTNOTE ID=1001 TITLE=Discussion_of_Phylogenetic_Relationships TEXT='The monophyly of both suborders is well established. Young and Vecchione (1996) found two apomorphic character states that defined the monophyly of the Incirrata: 
<UL>
<LI>Presence of a cornea. 
<LI>Hectocotylization of one of the third arms. 
</UL>
Another character can probably be added to the list of apomorphies although it hasn''t been included in a cladistic study: 
<UL>
<LI>Chorion of egg drawn out into a stalk (Young, <I>et al.</I>, 1999). 
</UL>

<P>Young and Vecchione (1996) found three character 
states that defined the monophyly of the Cirrata: 
<UL>
<LI>Spermatophores as 
sperm packets without ejaculatory apparatus. 
<LI>Presence of horizontal arm septa. 
<LI>Buccal position of posterior salivary glands.
</UL>  
  
Voight (1997) also found morphological, cladistic support for the  Cirrata and Incirrata but her study is controversial.  Carlini (1998) found molecular analyses supported the monophyly of both groups.';
