Eledone
Eledone is a genus of octopuses in the family Octopodidae. It is mainly distributed in the northern and southern Atlantic Ocean, with one species, E. palari, described from the southwestern Pacific Ocean and eastern Indian Ocean in waters around Indonesia and Australia and another, E. microsicya, from the western Indian Ocean. One species, E. thysanophora, is now regarded as a synonym of the brush-tipped octopus (Aphrodoctopus schultzi).[1]

- Eledone caparti Adam, 1950
- Eledone cirrhosa (Lamarck, 1798) – horned octopus
- Eledone gaucha Haimovici, 1988
- Eledone massyae Voss, 1964 – combed octopus
- Eledone microsicya * (Rochebrune, 1884)
