According to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), there are only 17 different types:

Grimpoteuthis abyssicola (O'Shea, 1999)

Grimpoteuthis albatrossi (Sasaki, 1920)

Grimpoteuthis bathynectes Voss & Pearcy, 1990

Grimpoteuthis boylei (Collins, 2003)

Grimpoteuthis bruuni (Voss, 1982)

Grimpoteuthis caudani (Joubin, 1896)

Grimpoteuthis challengeri (Collins, 2003)

Grimpoteuthis discoveryi (Collins, 2003)

Grimpoteuthis hippocrepium (Hoyle, 1904)

Grimpoteuthis innominata (O'Shea, 1999)

Grimpoteuthis meangensis (Hoyle, 1885)

Grimpoteuthis megaptera (Verrill, 1885)

Grimpoteuthis pacifica (Hoyle, 1885)

Grimpoteuthis tuftsi (Voss & Pearcy, 1990)

Grimpoteuthis umbellata (P. Fischer, 1883)

Then there are 3 octopi which were thought to be grimpoteuthis, but renamed Cirroctopus:

Grimpoteuthis mawsoni (Berry, 1917), accepted as Cirroctopus mawsoni (Berry, 1917).

What are the behavioral adaptations of the dumbo octopus?

The dumbo octopus lives at enormous depths in the ocean so has adapted to cope with the pressures associated with these depths. The "wings" which give the octopus its name are also adaptations to allow the animal to move through the water by "flapping" these ears. The Dumbo octopus also eats its prey whole, unlike other octopus species which break the prey up into parts.
