Amaura candida The Pyramidellidae (Gastropoda, Heterobranchia) of Norway and adjacent waters. A taxonomic review Høisaeter, Tore Fauna norvegica 2014 2014-12-19 34 7 78 8HFQ (Moller, 1842) Moller 1842 [113,483,305,335] Gastropoda Pyramidellidae Aartsenia Animalia 48 55 Mollusca species candida  Figure 92    Amaura candida sp.n.Møller 1842:80   Type material: Several syntypesin ZMUC GAS-6– GAS-9;  BMNH  1843.6.30 and SMNH 3843(3812) (  Schiøtte & Warén1992).  Type locality: West Greenland, not specified (  Schiøtte & Warén1992).  Material seen:None.   Diagnosis: Shell:Large (reaching at least 9 mm), with dominating body whorl, very low and inconspicuous columellar fold, aperture oblong. Soft parts:Not known. Operculum:Not known.   Remarks:The only Norwegian record of this large Arctic species is two shells from Karlsøy, Troms county ( 70°N, 9-27 m) ( Leche 1878, Warén 1991). As all other records of the species are from Greenland, Spitsbergen and the Russian Arctic (Barents, Kara and Laptev Seas, Kantor & Sysoev 2006), and there are no reports from east Finnmark, where all other high-Arctic animals in Norwayare found, the record is surprising. The hydrographic conditions around Karlsøy do not in any way favour an Arctic fauna (already in 1880  Patella vulgatawas found on one of the islands). The presence of this species in Norwegian waters needs verification. 5284321317 1843-06-30 ZMUC Greenland Schiotte & Waren Greenland 48 55 GAS-6, GAS- 9 1 syntype 5284321337 [136,298,501,525] 1843-06-30 BMNH Greenland Schiotte & Waren Greenland 48 55 1843.6.30 1 syntype 5284321516 1843-06-30 ZMUC, BMNH Greenland Schiotte & Waren Greenland 48 55 SMNH 3843 1 syntype
