Abstract: A geographic database is presented of the occurrence of the 220 testate amoebae taxa observed by the authors in the Arctic between the longitudes 27 degrees E and 168 degrees W. Visited and studied were localities in Svalbard (West Spitsbergen, Edgeoya, Barentsoya, Hopen, Bear Island), Jan Mayen, Greenland (Angmagssallik and Sondre Stromfjord region), Canada (Devon Island, Victoria Island), and Alaska (Barrow and Nome regions). The number of samples analysed was 1142. For each region, information is given on the occurrence of the taxa in different habitats. Browsing the data from other authors completes this protistological list with 71 taxa not seen by us, resulting thus in a total of 291 testate amoebae taxa known from the Arctic.
