First records of Ommastrephes bartramii and Chiroteuthis veranii (Cephalopoda: Teuthida) in the Sardinian waters are reported. Morphometric and meristic data of the specimens are listed and commented. Mature females of C. veranii were caught year-round; they had smaller size than maturing males and carried about 10 large ripe eggs (4.0-4.5 mm). Occurrence of O. bartramii near the bottom was linked to feeding descent.

Abstract
First records of Ommastrephes bartramii and Chiroteuthis veranii (Cephalopoda: Teuthida) in the Sardinian waters are reported. Morphometric and meristic data of the specimens are listed and commented. Mature females of C. veranii were caught year-round; they had smaller size than maturing males and carried about 10 large ripe eggs (4.0-4.5 mm). Occurrence of O. bartramii near the bottom was linked to feeding descent.
