Distribution of Haploniscidae at the Greenland-Iceland-Faeroe Ridge Ten species of the Haploniscidae were sampled during the BIOICE expeditions in the GIF area (Table 1, Figs 10– 12), eight species of Haploniscus and one species each of genera Antennuloniscus and Chauliodoniscus. By far the most frequent species was Haploniscus bicuspis with 11,410 specimens sampled at 136 stations (Table 1). H. foresti and A. simplex were also fairly frequent, occurring at 19 and 12 stations, with 1375 and 1816 specimens, respectively. Haploniscus aduncus occurred at ten stations, while Chauliodoniscus armadilloides was reported from 7 stations. The remaining species were found at one to four stations only, i.e. Haploniscus astraphes, H. ampliatus, H. angustus, H. hamatus, and H. spinifer. The only species occurring north of the Greenland-Iceland-Faeroe Ridge were Haploniscus bicuspis and H. angustus. Haploniscus ingolfi is the only other haploniscid species previously reported from the Nordic Seas (Wolff 1962; Svavarsson ... : 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 321-324, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4231.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/291346 ...
