Definition
A genus of octopod cephalopod mollusks, comprising the pelagic argonauts or paper nautiluses that produce a delicate papery egg case.
Etymology
From Greek 'Argonauta,' the Latinized scientific name applied to the creature in honor of the mythological Argonauts. The name reflects the octopus's ocean-sailing nature.
Kelly Says
Carl Linnaeus and later scientists named this octopus genus after the mythological Argonauts because the female creates a delicate 'vessel' from her arms—she's literally sailing the oceans like Jason!
