These guys are distinguishable by the muscular ribbed fins present on the mantle. (Yes, it kinda looks like a comb). Number of species in this genera is disputed (possibly 3 or 4 depending on what source you look at).

OK, this is one ugly ... squid? (the fins would seem to almost qualify for Cuttlefish). In the photo anyway, the think looks like some kind of skeleton and threatening.
 
yeah unfortunately, these lesser known squids don't have an abundance of "lovely" photos... or the ones that are nice, have watermarks embedded into them.

I totally agree though, I instantly thought that this squid looks a bit like a squid/cuttle cross.
