Teudopsis is a genus of the coleoid cephalopod family Teudopsidae, known only from Lower Jurassic gladii.{{Cite journal| doi = 10.1017/S0022336000019478| journal = Journal of Paleontology| year = 1989| volume = 63| issue = 3| title = Teudopsis cadominensis, a New Teuthid Squid from the Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) of Alberta| author = Hall| author2 = Neuman| jstor = 1305502| pages = 324–327| s2cid = 133100189}} It has been reported from Alberta, Canada and Europe. During the Early Torcian period, the T. bollensis, T. bunelii, and T. subcostata all inhabited European seas. The differences in the anterior median field differentiates the three species. {{cite journal |last1=Fuchs |first1=D. |last2=Weis |first2=R. |year=2010 |title=Taxonomy, morphology and phylogeny of Lower Jurassic teudopseid coleoids (Cephalopoda) |journal= Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie - Abhandlungen |volume=257 |issue=3 |pages=351–366 |doi= 10.1127/0077-7749/2010/0083}} The life appearance of Teudopsis is probably best inferred by its close relative Trachyteuthis.
A fossil with soft tissue preservation shows that this animal may have had two mantle fins, which may also be the case for Teudopsis.{{cite web |archive-date=July 16, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716060957/http://palaeontology.palass-pubs.org/pdf/Vol%2033/Pages%20193-207.pdf |lang=en |title=Teuthid Cephalopods From The Lower Jurassic Of Yorkshire |first=Peter |last=Doyle |url-status=usurped |url=http://palaeontology.palass-pubs.org/pdf/Vol%2033/Pages%20193-207.pdf}}
