In this study, commonly known as “starry night octopus” or “small-spot octopus”, Callistoctopus luteus (Sasaki, 1929), was newly recorded in Korea. This species is distributed in warm temperate oceans and is found at depths of up to 82 m. To data, 13 species in genus Callistoctopus have been recorded worldwide, but none have been reported in Korean waters. Herein, we provide the diagnostic characteristics with descript-xions and pictures of C. luteus and with mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (cox1) partial sequence.
