Bathypolypus rubrostictus is a species of octopus in the family Bathypolypodidae. Only one male specimen has been found.[2][3]
B. rubrostictus was initially identified from a specimen off the coast of the Ryuku Islands in the South China Sea off the coast of Japan. It inhabits the upper bathyal waters at 350-370 m. Unlike all other species in the genus Bathypolypus, B. rubrostictus lives in the Pacific Ocean, while all the other species in its genus inhabit the Atlantic Ocean.[3]
This species is 20 mm in mantle length (ML) and its arms are short and stubby (2-2.5 times ML). Its body is covered with small, brown-red spots, and its web is pale reddish-brown. Like most deep-sea octopuses and all species in the genus Bathypolypus, B. rubrostictus lacks an ink sac.[3]
Nothing is known of their lifespan, diet, or biology, as only a single specimen has been discovered. [3]
