The octopus Cistopus indicus is an important target of cephalopod fisheries in China. It is widely distributed in the South Pacific and tropical Indian Ocean, from the South China Sea, the Philippines, Malaysia, to Indian and Pakistan seas. We collected specimens from five sites in China and Vietnam (Zhoushan, Wenzhou, Shacheng, Zhanjiang and Mangjie). A fragment of 675bp of cytochrome b (Cytb) was amplified from 95 individuals. A total of 27 haplotypes and 78 variable nucleotide sites was observed. High haplotype diversity and low nucleotide diversity were observed in all populations. The phylogenetic analysis separated these populations into two clades; one was composed of three populations (Zhoushan, Wenzhou and Shacheng), the other of two (Zhanjiang, Mangjie). AMOVA analysis detected that 4.67% of the genetic variation occurred within populations and 95.33% occurred among populations. FST values ranged from 0.014 to 0.993, highlighting the high genetic variation among the populations. Assuming a molecular clock with a rate of 2.15–2.6%/Ma for the Cytb gene, the two clades may have diverged 2.88–3.49 million years ago (Pliocene). Neutral evolution tests and mismatch distribution analysis suggested recent population expansion. The present results revealed valuable information for genetic assessment, management and conservation of this species.
