- Boreopeltis smithi (A. Fuchs & Larson, 2011)[1] from the late Cenomanian-aged Sannine Formation in Lebanon, potentially Santonian of Sahel Alma, Lebanon.[3]
- Boreopeltis ifrimae (Fuchs, 2021)[4] from the Turonian-aged Agua Nueva Formation of Vallecillo, Mexico, has a gladius length of 47 centimeters and is the second-largest known plesioteuthidid after Eromangateuthis soniae.[4]
