Abstract
One specimen of Argonauta argo belonging to the family Argonautidae, was collected Songjeong, southeastern coastal water of Korea on July 12, 2010.

The I arm has expanded, hemi-discoidal web to which the distal part is fused together. The funnel is large and exceeds the base of arm IV. The arms formula is IV > $II{\fallingdotseq}III$ > I. The specimen was female. Fecundity was 155,203 eggs. This species is pelagic octopus and important prey item of dolphin.
