    Summary
    Plesioteuthis is a coleoid rather well known from the classical Fossillagerstätten of southern Germany (Solnhofen-Eichstätt region, Nusplingen). Here, we present two new specimens that display unusually preserved cirri-bearing arms and two pairs of fins. Based on these specimens, we shortly discuss in how far arm arrangement in the fossils might reflect behaviour. Additionally, we revise the phylogenetic position of the Jurassic vampyromorphs.
