Abstract
ABSTRACT New deep-sea cirrate octopuses (Octopoda: Cirrata) are reported from around Australia and New Zealand. The limited collections comprise three species, one that is for the first time reported from Australian waters, and one from each of Australia and New Zealand that we deem to be new to science. Taxonomic instability and regional taxonomic novelty preclude the unambiguous attribution of any species to genus. While we consider no species to be sibling, or even closely related, each is attributed to Grimpoteuthis: G. greeni n. sp., based on three specimens from southern Australia; G. angularis n. sp., based on a single specimen from New Zealand; and the first male specimen of G. abyssicola O’Shea, 1999, formerly known from the central Tasman Sea, which we describe and extend the distribution of into Australian waters. Relationships between these taxa and others provisionally attributed to the Grimpoteuthididae O’Shea, 1999 are evaluated and based primarily on the morphology of the shell, and secondarily on that of the gill, we propose a preliminary division of Grimpoteuthis sensu lato into three sensu lato morphologies.

期刊介绍:
Molluscan Research is an international journal for the publication of authoritative papers and review articles on all aspects of molluscan research, including biology, systematics, morphology, physiology, ecology, conservation, biogeography, genetics, molecular biology and palaeontology.
While the scope of the journal is worldwide, there is emphasis on studies relating to Australasia and the Indo-west Pacific, including East and South East Asia. The journal’s scope includes revisionary papers, monographs, reviews, theoretical papers and briefer communications. Monographic studies of up to 73 printed pages may also be considered.
The journal has been published since 1957 (as the Journal of the Malacological Society of Australia until 1993). It is free to members of the Malacological Society of Australasia and the Society for the Study of Molluscan Diversity.
