Glyphiteuthis abisaadiorum, 75 mm, vampyropod coleoid, Trachyteuthididae, Cenomanian, Hjula, Lebanon.

"A new vampyropod coleoid from the late Cenomanian limestones of Hadjoula (northwest Lebanon) is described. Glyphiteuthis abisaadiorum n. sp. is classified as a representative of the Trachyteuthididae, mainly on the basis of its general gladius morphology. It represents the fourth species of its genus and the second species of its genus recorded from Hadjoula. Glyphiteuthis abisaadiorum n. sp. differs from Glyphiteuthis libanotica in having a more slender gladius. Additionally, the arms are considerably longer in Glyphiteuthis abisaadiorum n. sp. than in Glyphiteuthis libanotica." Fuchs & Weiss (2009).
