Description

Alexey Golikov and co-authors review the deep-sea octopus genus Muusoctopus in Arctic waters and name a new species, in a paper from two thousand twenty-three. The new kind lacks the small inner stylets its kin carry. A second new form stays unnamed for want of adult samples.

The two differ in body shares, funnel shape, sucker and gill counts, and arm traits. Fresh facts on two known kin include size-from-beak math and a gene barcode for one. Home ranges and life notes cover all studied kinds. The genus now makes a third of known Arctic squid and octopus kinds. A table helps sort northern species. Readers get a fuller Arctic octopus roster.
