Type locality: south coast of Norway. See: Madsen (1987: 209 – 218, figs. 1, 2 a – b, 4 – 9); A. M. Clark & Downey (1992: 396 – 397, figs. 60 o – p, pl. 93, fig. F, pl. 95, figs. H, I). Occurrence: Northeast Atlantic, from north boreal and arctic waters south to Northumberland (c. 55 ° N) and Kattegat in the east and to Cape Cod in the west (Madsen 1987); reported elsewhere from the Canaries (Hernández et al. 2013); possibly extending the North Pacific waters (Madsen 1987). Depth: 0 – 200 m, though rarely below 50 m (A. M. Clark & Downey 1992). Habitat: mainly on hard substrata (A. M. Clark & Downey 1992). Larval stage: lecithotrophic (brooder; A. M. Clark & Downey 1992). Remarks: in the historical literature, the inclusion of Henricia sanguinolenta in the Azorean marina fauna was based on the assumption that H. oculata was a junior synonymous of the former species (see remarks under Henricia oculata).
