This is essentially a purely arctic species, the more southern records, as 

 those about Scotland, being apparently due to misidentification. It has a 

 circumpolar distribution, having been previously recorded from White sea, 

 Spitzbergen, Greenland, Siberia, and Bering strait. In the material of the 

 present collection is a fragment consisting of the anterior ten segments. It 

 is 57 mm. long, with a maximum diameter of 4-5 mm.

One specimen of this species is in the collection. A species widespread 

 in boreal and arctic regions of the Atlantic ocean and its branches* and ranging 

 to the Mediterranean. It is common about Iceland and along the shores of 

 Greenland from where it extends southward along the North American coast. 

 Wiren doubtfully refers a specimen from the Bering strait to this species.
