1 I do not feel certain that this species and Octopus cuvieri are really the 

 same. D'Orbigny places them together under the name Octopus cuvieri, and 

 Verany regards them as identical, but prefers the name Octopiis macropus. 

 Targioni-Tozzetti separates them, and Dr Jatta unites them. Professor 

 Steenstrup informs me that he is not convinced of their identity.
