Saduria entomon (Linnaeus, 1758) is a glacial relict with a distribution restricted to the Baltic Sea and several lakes in the Scandinavian region. It is also mentioned in arctic shallow waters of the North America, Siberia, and in the Caspian Sea. In February 2009, this isopod was reported for the first time from near the village of Lustdorf, in the Gulf of Odessa, Black Sea, Ukraine.
