Harmothoe imbricata is circumpolarly spread over the northern hemisphere. Southwards it 

 reaches, at the coasts of Europe, France and Spain. According to Izuka it is common along the whole 

 coast of Japan, both on the east and on the west side, from Sakhalin to Kyushiu. It seems able to 

 bear rather fresh water; in the Baltic it is said, vide Michaelsen, to reach Kolkovik in the interior 

 of the Gulf of Finland. 



As to its bathymetrical distribution it also shows a most uncommon ability in accomodation. 

 While it seems to be a common coast-form everywhere inside its range, and even at a few places 

 reaches so far that it can be taken in tide-pools, it is found, though seldom, at very great depths; thus 

 the Ingolf-Expedition has taken a specimen S. W. of Greenland at a depth of 1870 fms. Most frequently 

 it is found between one and a hundred fms.

I think Augener is right in specifically separating this form from H. imbricata. In my material 

 only one specimen is present, but in all essentials I find it agreeing with the remarks of the named 

 author. As to the scales, the words of Augener seem to agree well with my figure (PI. II. fig. 16): 

 „Die grossen Randpapillen sind bei H. imbricata mehr oder weuiger deutlich keulenformig, bei H. impar 

 sind sie im allgemeinen tropfenformig und wenig abgesetzt gegen die Elytronflache".
