This species is easily confused with Nymphon hirtipes, which it 
resembles in most particulars except the greater length of its auxiliary 
claws and usually heavier setae. Though there are specimens of 
hirtipes that are as setose as the usual spinosissimum, the latter species 
never has the bald appearance found in many specimens of hiriipes. 
N. spinosissimum is about 5 cm. in extent. Ovigerous males were 
taken in June and July from American waters. 
Distribution—A Boreal species, preferring deeper water than 
Nymphon hirtipes. Stephensen reports it from western Greenland and 
Davis Strait. Also from Norway and the Faroes, but not the British 
Isles.
