Limnoria lignontm has been reported as occurring along practically the entire 

 coast of Europe. Sars (1897) records it in his "Crustacea of Norway." In 1869 it was

 from the Lofoden Islands, off the coast of Norway, north of the Arctic Circle, to the 

 Black Sea. Moll (1915) calls attention to its presence in the Black Sea and the Baltic. 

 Caiman (1919 and 1921) records it in the Southern Hemisphere from the Falkland 

 Islands, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
