Cirroctopus hochbergi

Cirroctopus hochbergi (common name: Four-blotched umbrella octopus) is a cirrate octopus living between 800 and 1,070 meters deep off the coast of New Zealand. The species is known from 48 specimens. It is most similar to its sister taxon, Cirroctopus mawsoni; however, C. mawsoni's ventral pigmentation is lighter, and the two species have been found in very different areas (C. mawsoni is only known in waters near Antarctica).

This octopus lives near cold seeps and seamounts. It is theorized that it and all other cirrate octopuses live in the demersal zone.
