Distribution and remarks: Aeolidia filomenae was recently described when the cosmopolitan species Aeolidia papillosa was shown to be part of a species complex of four sibling species ( Kienberger et al. 2016). While information on the distribution is naturally sparse, recent records indicate a fairly wide distribution in Norway ( Moen & Svensen 2020; Artskart 2024). The present study found A. filomenae to be a common species all year round both in the intertidal and at fouling community localities. Specimens were often found sandwiched between blue mussels. Spawning was mainly observed during spring and summer. The present records are the first from the Tromsø region and constitute a new northerly distribution record for the species.

Distribution and remarks: Aeolidia papillosa is known from all the coast of Norway ( Evertsen & Bakken, 2005) and northwestern Russia ( Martynov et al. 2006). A. papillosa was, however, recently shown to be part of a species complex of four sibling species ( Kienberger et al. 2016). Previous records of A. papillosa may, therefore, refer to either A. papillosa or A. filomenae . The species was commonly observed all year round both in the intertidal and at fouling community localities. Spawning was observed from April – July and juveniles were typically observed in November - December. This study documents the presence of “true” A. papillosa in the Tromsø region.

Material examined: One specimen, HIS, 31 July 2023, 52 mm, FB, NUIT-1309 ( Figure 4B View Figure 4 ) .
Localities: HIS
Distribution and remarks: Aeolidiella glauca is an uncommon species in Norway with a scattered distribution range ( Evertsen & Bakken 2005). The relatively few records are from southern and western Norway. The specimen in the present study was found on Saccharina latissima growing at a fouling community. The present record constitutes a new northernmost distribution record and a significant range extension for the species.
