Cirroctopus mawsoni is a species of octopus known from only one specimen, which was collected by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition in the waters off Adélie Land between 530 and 550 meters deep.[3] It was described by Samuel Stillman Berry as Stauroteuthis mawsoni, and dedicated to the leader of the expedition, Douglas Mawson.[4]
Subsequently, Adolf Naef placed it as the type species of genus Cirroctopus.[5] It may be synonymous with Cirroctopus glacialis.[6]
