Sasakiopus is a genus of octopus containing only one species, Sasakiopus salebrosus, the rough octopus. [2] It is part of the family Enteroctopodidae.Genetic analysis appeared to show that S. salebrosus is the sister taxon of the genera Benthoctopus and Vulcanoctopus, [3] although the former is now considered a synonym of Bathypolypus, the only genus in the family Bathypolypodidae, and the ...
