In addition 1 ♀ labelled „Finmarken Esmark“

and Andersson et al. (2005)), collected in 1866
by Lauritz Esmark, and unverified „some places
along the coast north to Tromsø“ (Schneider
1905, p. 178). Common throughout Sweden and
S Finland, and slightly more common in Troms
than depicted in Andersson et al. (2005). Occurs
also on the south coast of the Kola peninsula, N
Russia (Palmén 1949).

leg. R. Bergersen (under stones in the supralittoral
among isopods Porcellio scaber) (Map 4).
New to North Norway. Included in Andersson et
al. (2005). Listed in European Register of Marine
Species (ERMS). The species has been searched
for on some occasions in Nordland and Troms, but
never been found (W. Vader, pers. com.). Further
south it may occur in large numbers (Horneland
& Meidell 1986). The species has been used in
studies of segmentation (Arthur & Chipman
2005).

2 ♀♀ leg. A. Fjeldså (under stone, calcareous
meadow) (Map 7). Deposited in Zoological
Museum, Copenhagen.
The above find, briefly mentioned in Kime &
Golovatch (2000, p. 343), adds to the records in
Meidell (1970). This conspicuous but very small
(2-3 ♀♀ long) species is common under bark of
living pine (Meidell 1970) and also in birds‘ nests
(Tajovský et al. 2001). Previously found at Rørvik
(Ellingsen 1910) just south of the study area.

New to North Norway. The records from N
Nordland (68 o 30‘N) are included in Andersson et
al. (2005) but not the one from S Nordland (65 o N).
The northernmost find in South Norway is at
62 o N; in Sweden and Finland at 61 o N (Andersson
et al. 2005).
