Remarks. Type material of Scalibregma inflatum is not known to exist. Mackie (1991) gave a redescription of S. inflatum based on specimens from the Sunndalsfjord in western Norway, close to the original type locality. He also confirmed the synonymy of Oligobranchus roseus with S. inflatum after examining a specimen of O. roseus kept at the Zoological Museum, University of Oslo, and presumed to be the material for the original description. M. Sars (1846) described O. roseus, being unaware of Rathke’s description (note p. 94; 1846), but appears later to have accepted the synonymy (M. Sars in G. O. Sars 1872).
The specimens examined in the present study were all collected on the upper slope of the Norwegian continental margin, at depths greater than 600 m, and from Jan Mayen. The specimens agree with the description given by Mackie (1991). The presence of short, acute or bifurcate spines on chaetiger 1–2, as described by Mackie (1991), was confirmed.
Distribution. Scalibregma inflatum is known to have a wide distribution in northern coastal waters. Støp- Bowitz (1945, 1948) reported S. inflatum from a number of localities in Norwegian and Arctic areas in depths from 10 to 200 m. In deeper waters there are scattered records from west Greenland, Spitsbergen and Jan Mayen in 450– 1275 m (Støp-Bowitz 1948). This study confirms the presence of the species in shelf break areas down to about 900 m depths in the Norwegian Sea (Fig. 7 B). The species may seem to have a depth limit at about 1000 m in the Nordic Seas.
Scalibregma inflatum is reported from world-wide areas (Blake 1981). Most probably several species are confounded. Mackie (1991) commented that several descriptions in faunal works from the northeast Atlantic may incorporate S. celticum Mackie, 1991 as well.
