There are currently four species confirmed, with six more under research. Identified in 1929, they belong to the Animalia Kingdom and the Mollusca Phylum, the Cephalopoda Class and the Octopoda Order. They are in the Octopodidae family, and the genus of Hapalochlaena. The Blue-lined octopus species is Hapalochlaena fasciata (fasciata being the species part of the binomial), the Greater blue-ringed octopus is Hapalochlaena lunulata, the Southern blue-ringed or Lesser blue-ringed octopus is Hapalochlaena maculosa, and Hapalochlaena nierstraszi doesn't seem to have a "popular" name, though it was originally identified in 1938.
