A live Callistoctopus xiaohongxu
When they collected cephalopod samples from Dongshan Island in China's Fujian Province, a team of researchers made an interesting discovery: a new octopus species
In fact, locals and fishermen have long been familiar with the species, but they have always mistaken it for a juvenile form of the common long-armed octopus, which is traded throughout the country
Only when a team of scientists from the Ocean University of China collected a batch of specimens misidentified by locals from the Dongshan Seafood Market Terminal, which was actually a separate new species – Callistoctopus xiaohongxu, and a scientific description published in the open access journal ZooKeys.
The scientific name xiaohongxu is a pinyin translation of the local Chinese name in Zhangzhou, where the species was collected
More than 130 different cephalopods have been recorded
