Opisthoteuthis (Exsuperoteuthis) persephone is a cirrate octopus found off southern Australia.

[4][5] In describing O. persephone, Berry called it an "exceedingly interesting octopod".

[4] The species has recently been redescribed and allocated as the type of genus Exsuperoteuthis.

[6] According to the first description as given by Berry, Opisthoteuthis persephone was neither very small nor very large when compared to other octopuses, with the largest measuring 330 mm in arm span.

[4][7] The species (like others of its family) is soft and gelatinous and is somewhat flat, almost disk-like given the extensive arm webbing, and has small fins.
