Remarks. Hansen (1916) described H. spinifer from specimens collected at depths of 1505–3474 m in the Labrador basin and at the eastern margin of the deep Reykjanes Ridge. Here, the species was only found at two deep stations south of the Ridge in the Iceland basin (Fig. 11 C).

The species has a very wide distribution and has been reported in ... : Published as part of Brökeland, Wiebke & Svavarsson, Jörundur, 2017, Distribution of haploniscids (Isopoda, Asellota, Haploniscidae) in Icelandic waters, with description of Haploniscus astraphes n. sp. from the Iceland basin and the Southeast Atlantic Ocean, pp. 301-326 in Zootaxa 4231 (3) on pages 319-320, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4231.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/291346 ...
