Callistoctopus is a genus of nocturnal, orange octopuses in the family Octopodidae. They are readily identifiable by their reddish coloring, the white papillae that line their bodies, and their long arms. Though sympatric with diurnal Octopus species, they avoid competition by hunting at night. In acknowledgement of this preference, many species of Callistoctopus are referred to as night octopuses. Well-known species include C. macropus (Atlantic white-spotted octopus) and the type species C. ornatus (ornate octopus), both of which are harvested for human consumption as seafood.

  • Callistoctopus es un género de pulpos nocturnos de colores anaranjados de la familia Octopodidae.​ Son fácilmente identificables por su coloración rojiza, las papilas blancas que recubren su cuerpo y sus largos brazos. Aunque son simpátricos a las especies diurnas de pulpo, evitan la competencia cazando por la noche. En reconocimiento de esta preferencia, muchas especies de Callistoctopus se denominan pulpos nocturnos. Entre las especies más conocidas se encuentran el C. macropus (pulpón) y la especie tipo C. ornatus (pulpo ornamentado), que se capturan para el consumo humano como marisco. (es)
