Cirroteuthis muelleri, also known as the big-finned jellyhead,[2] was the first cirrate octopus species (and genus) to be scientifically described (in 1836). It is closely related to the genus Cirrothauma within the family Cirroteuthidae.[3] At present the genus contains a single recognized species restricted to the Arctic Ocean and northern basins of the Atlantic and Pacific, but other species may be present in the southern hemisphere.[4][5]
