dibranchiata
Dibranchiata is a subclass within the class Cephalopoda, primarily consisting of octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish. These marine animals are characterized by their two gills (hence the name dibranchiata - 'di' meaning two and 'branchia' referring to gills), well-developed eyes, and a complex nervous system. They also have unique means of locomotion and prey capture which includes jet propulsion and tentacles, respectively.
Webster Dictionary
Dibranchiata
an order of cephalopods which includes those with two gills, an apparatus for emitting an inky fluid, and either eight or ten cephalic arms bearing suckers or hooks, as the octopi and squids. See Cephalopoda
