Material examined: One specimen, HIL, 08 October 2021, FB, NTNU-VM-85735/NUIT-1009 ( Figure 2C View Figure 2 ) ; One specimen, HIL, 27 November 2021, 6 mm, FB, NTNU-VM-84547/NUIT-1073 ; One specimen, TPO; 16 February 2022, 15 mm, FB; NUIT-1136 ; One specimen, SHE, 10 June 2022, 14 mm, FB, NTNU-VM-85643/NUIT-1171 ; One specimen, HIL, 15 October 2022, 7 mm, FB, NUIT-1252 .
Localities: EKJ, HIL, KVA, SHE, TPO, TTE
Distribution and remarks: Ancula gibbosa has previously been reported to occur along most of the Norwegian coast including the Tromsø region ( Evertsen & Bakken 2005). Animals were found both in the intertidal and at fouling community localities where they were typically observed in low numbers on Saccharina latissima . All examined specimens were of the pale variant. Animals were found all year round. Prior to this study, only a single unverified record made in June 2018 by the Ocean Genome Legacy Collection exists from Tromsø ( Artskart 2024). The records by the present study confirm the presence of A. gibbosa in the Tromsø region.
