type locality contained in North Sea [details]
Type locality Norway, probably Arendal, based on Schmidt's (1873) (p. 148) first mention of Esperia anceps, which was subsequently split into several distinct species by Thiele (1903). Thiele's text is not quite clear which is the exact locality of the type of Hymedesmia norvegica. [details]
