Distribution

This species was described from the Varangerfjord, near Vadsø in Finnmark, Norway. However, this nudibranch has not been seen since it was first described by Odhner in 1922.[3]

gollark: I feel like this is an unproductively large number of channels.
gollark: No idea, not really, yes, people do that a lot, that's kind of done a bit, no.
gollark: The English-y GCSEs are very annoying. I did better in Ancient Greek and Latin than English on the mock things (literature/language were just done as one exam for some reason).
gollark: Anyway, I did decently on my mock exam stuff, so if they use those as my actual grades I should be okay.
gollark: I mean, it's an... underground railway network, if a small one.
