The genus is called 'Hapalochlaena'.

There are three species of Hapalochlaena, and there is fourth that is still under research:

* The Greater Blue-ringed Octopus (Hapalochlaena lunulata) * The Southern Blue-ringed Octopus or Lesser Blue-ringed Octopus (Hapalochlaena maculosa) * The Blue-lined Octopus (Hapalochlaena fasciata) * The Hapalochlaena nierstraszi (still under research)
