| Summary: | Protellina ingolfi Stephensen, 1944 was first reported from the southern Norwegian Sea, collected during the Danish Ingolf Expedition in 1895–96. This species was described from what Stephensen presumed was a adult male specimen (Stephensen, 1944). Additional specimens collected during the joint Nordic BIOFAR (Biological Investigation of the Faroes) and BIOICE (Biological Investigation of Iceland) programmes differ from the original description by Stephensen. Male, female and juvenile males are described and illustrated, and any morphological difference between Stephensen's (1944) original description and current material are discussed. |
