Type locality: Arctic Ocean, western Greenland, 65 ° 16.0 ’ N, 55 ° 4.60 ’ W. Material examined: NHMD- 82314 (prev. ZMUC- CRU- 4468): lectotype (five slides); NHMD- 82315 (prev. ZMUC-CRU- 4469): one male paralectotype (alcohol + two slides); NHMD- 82316 (prev. ZMUC- CRU- 4470): one female paralectotype (alcohol + two slides); NHMD- 85863 (prev. ZMUC-CRU- 8019): three paralectotypes (in alcohol); NHMD- 85864 (prev. ZMUC-CRU- 8020): six paralectotypes (in alcohol). Remarks: Lepechinella schellenbergi was not present in IceAGE material, but for comparative purposes the type material was examined. The characters used to separate L. schellenbergi from L. arctica are not well observed, with the angle of the mandible susceptible to parallax error and molar surface subject to wear,
