 Jascicularis have occurred on the Antrim coast, and Scalpelhmi 

 vulgare in Belfast Lough. Conchoder/na virgata and C. 

 aiirita seem to be occasionally imported into Belfast on the

observed on the Antrim and Down coasts were Nydiphanes 

 fiorvegica, taken by R. Welch on the Antrim coast, and 

 Gastrosaccus spinifer. Mysis relicta occurs in Lough Neagh 

 and Lough Erne, its only habitats in the British Isles {cf.
