ABSTRACT
A new species of occllated octopus, Octopus maya, is described from
nine specimens collected in the Bay of Campeche. The species, known
only from the bay, was taken during a survey of the octopus fisheries and
is the second described species of ocellated octopus from the Atlantic
Ocean. It is characterized by a large double-ringed ocellus, large eggs
attaining a length of 17 mm, and, in the male, a minute ligula. It is compared
with other ocellated species from the Pacific and Indian oceans. A
key to the eight species of shallow water octopus of the tropical Western
Atlantic Ocean is included.
