 In 2004, Gleadall resurrected the genus "Schizoctopus" and assigned "Octopus fangsiao" as the type species.In 2005, Huffard and Hochberg, arguing that Robson's designation of "Octopus membranaceus" as a "nomen dubium" was premature and considering it a valid name, resurrected the genus name "Amphioctopus" for the "Octopus aegina" species complex.Huffard and Hochberg also found "Schizoctopus" to be a junior synonym for "Amphioctopus".
