Summary: | Haemopis grandis (Verrill 1874) Synonym: Mollibdella grandis (Verrill 1874) General distribution: Eastern North America (Figure 3 D, Table 2). Newfoundland: Museum specimens: USNM 38612: Fox Island (1927, station 15, accession number 259718, collector Ruby Bere). ( See note about Fox Island in Previous Records section.) Notes on the species. This species is identified by the characteristic pharyngeal musculature associated with the lack of teeth and jaws (Richardson 1969). A specimen was dissected to examine the internal organs. Haemopis grandis is previously unreported in Newfoundland and Labrador.
