Localities recorded: North America, West Greenland — ^Godhavn, lat. 69° 

 14' N., 8-10 fathoms, sand; lat. 66° 46' N., long. 54° 10' W., 18 fathoms, stones 

 with Balani, and southern Greenland, living in sand; type locality, Nova Scotia, 

 Middle Ground, Halifax, and Georges banks; north of Queen Charlotte island, 

 British Columbia, 111 fathoms. 



Europe: West Spitzbergen, 61 fathoms (G. 0. Sars); between Reindeer 

 point and Fox glacier, also west Spitzbergen (Ohhn); on the west coast of 

 Novaya Zembla from 3-6 to 5-20 fathoms (Stuxberg) ; in Jugor Schar, 6 fathoms, 

 and 5-8 fathoms (Hansen, Stuxberg) ; and some places in the Kara sea 8-11 

 fathoms (Stuxberg). 



Asia: Miers records "a large series of both sexes from the sea of Mourman, 

 near the Yenissei gulf, Siberia, collected by the Swedish Expedition of 1875-76. 



Distribution: This species has been recorded from near the mouth of the 

 Yenissei gulf westward in the Kara sea, Jugor Schar, the west coast of Novaya 

 Zembla, and West Spitzbergen. In North America it has been recorded on the 

 east coast from West Greenland, Godhavn, latitude 69° 14' N., southward. 

 This species generally occurs in rather low water among the stones, sand, algae, 

 etc., but has been taken from a depth of 111 fathoms (S. I. Smith). Ohlin 

 describes the colour as "a uniform dark olive green, sometimes on the epimeres 

 with a trace of purplish spots."
