Argonauta nodosus [Lightfoot], 1786 ou Argonauta nodosa Lightfoot, 1786 (nom vernaculaire : argonaute noueux) est une espèce de mollusques céphalopodes de la famille des Argonautidae. Répartition : océans Indien et Pacifique.
Argonauta nodosus [previously known as Argonauta nodosa], also known as the knobby or knobbed argonaut, is a species of pelagic octopus. The female of the species, like all argonauts, creates a paper-thin eggcase that coils around the octopus much like the way a nautilus lives in its shell (hence the name paper nautilus). The shell is usually approximately 150 mm in length, although it can exceed 250 mm in exceptional specimens; the world record size is 292.
