Abstract. Halirages helgae sp. nov. is recorded from the shelf slopes of the Norwegian Sea at depths of
1000 to 2600 m in the Arctic cold water masses. A total of 50 specimens were found at five stations. The
species differs from other known species in the genus Halirages Boeclc, 1871 by the bilobed posterior
margin of pereonite 7. A synoptic table to the northeast Atlantic species of Halirages is provided.

Introduction
MAREANO, a programme to develop a Marine Areal database for Norwegian waters, was initiated in
2005 and conducts physical, biological, and environmental mapping of the sea bottom within Norwegian
waters (Fig. 1). The programme procures information for an ecosystem-based management of Norway’s
coastal and offshore regions. MAREANO (www.mareano.no) is an ongoing program, and one of the
aims is to increase the knowledge of marine benthic species. Anew calliopiid species has been found at
five of the stations; we suggest placing the new species in the genus Halirages.
Calliopiidae is a large cosmopolitan family that includes 79 species in 26 genera worldwide (Barnard
& Karaman 1991). Arctic and subarctic regions are particularly rich in species of Calliopiidae (Barnard
& Karaman 1991; Weisshappel 2001). In the northeast Atlantic and Norwegian Arctic 12 genera have
been recorded in Calliopiidae, with three Haliragoides species (Sars 1883; Gurjanova 1951; d’Udekem
d’Acoz 2007) and eight Halirages species (Sars 1858,1877; Ohlin 1895; Kamenskaya 1980; Stephensen
1931; Gurjanova 1946; d’Udekem d’Acoz 2012).

Material and methods
Altogether 17 cruises have been undertaken from 2005 through 2013 in the MAREANO program; they
included 1013 video stations, of which 252 were physically sampled using a van Veen grab; 246 of
these stations also included sampling with a beam trawl and 201 with a Rothlisberg-Piercy (RP) sledge.
The survey area up until 2013 has covered 130,000 km 2 ; it has included the shelf and slope off the
coast of Nordland and Troms counties, parts of the SE Barents Sea and the banks off mid-Norway. The
material for this study was collected in 2008 and 2010. All samples were processed on board to facilitate
further handling and sorting. RP samples were decanted before being sieved at 4 mm, 1 mm, and 0.5 mm.
Only the decanted fractions were identified for this study. The samples were fixed in 4% borax-buffered
formalin and transferred to 75% ethanol after sorting in the lab. All material has been deposited in the
Bergen University Museum, Norway (ZMBN). Permanent slides were made with Faure’s medium, and
drawings were made with a tablet (Wacom Bamboo CTH-470) and Adobe Illustrator (Version CS 5.1)
as shown by Coleman (2003). Length measurements are from tip of rostrum to tip of telson.

A total of 50 specimens were found at five stations. The specimens are placed in the genus Halirages for
the following reasons: labrum rounded apically and acute dorsally, labium with small inner lobes, length
of mandible palp article 3 about half that of article 2. Coxal plates small, coxa 1 not expanded distally.

dactylus on first and second gnathopod about half that of propodus palm. Carpus longer than propodus.
Epimeral plate 2 with small tooth posteroventrally, and epimeral plate 3 with posterior corner rounded.
Uropods 1 and 2 biramous, with strong setae. Telson entire, longer than wide, acute.
Etymology
The species is named in memory of Helga Ringvold, for encouraging her c hil dren in their future
endeavours.

Distribution
This species has only been found in the northeast Atlantic, off northern Norway. It has been recorded at
some of MAREANO’s deepest stations, from 997 to 2,609 m, and only in cold water masses (NSAIW,
Norwegian Sea Arctic Intermediate Water) (Buhl-Mortensen et al. 2012), with mud as the dominant
sediment.
Discussion
The entire calliopiid family is in need of revision. Both Stephensen (1931) and d’Udekem d’Acoz
(2012) stated that the differences between Halirages and Apherusa are blurred. It can also be difficult to
separate Halirages and Haliragoides morphologically (Sars 1895; Stephensen 1931; M. Thurston pers.
comm.), but differences regarding cephalic lobes, antennal calceoli and the rami on uropod 3 have been
suggested as characters useful for separating them. The head of Halirages helgae sp. nov. has a small
projecting tooth anterodistally. The damaged antennae show no calceoli (only females have been found,
and according to Stephensen (1931) and d’Udekem d’Acoz (2012) calceoli are probably present in all
males in Halirages but not always in the females).
The species fits more or less the characters of the genus Halirages, and in the present confused systematic
situation, it is preferable to assign it to this genus.
As many Calliopiidae, Halirages helgae sp. nov. is a brittle species. The specimens differ somewhat in
size (3-13 mm) and probably include both juveniles and adults. The species seems to be morphologically
closest to H. mixtus Stephensen, 1931 and H. gorbunovi Gurjanova, 1946, based on the absence of
dorsal spines. One should, however, take into consideration that thorough descriptions are lacking for
both species, and that H. gorbunovi is only known from its two mutilated type specimens, which actually
look similar to H. quadridentatus G.O. Sars, 1877 (d’Udekem d’Acoz 2012). The examined specimens
of H. helgae sp. nov. have a bilobed posterior margin on pereonite 7 and differ from H. gorbunovi in the
fact that coxae 1 and 2 are not ventrally serrate, and that H. helgae sp. nov. has eyes. The telson on H.
mixtus is emarginate and the posterior margin of epimeron 3 serrate, whereas the telson of H. helgae sp.
nov. is triangular with a blunt tip, and the posterior margin of the third epimeron is smooth.
Apart from H. mixtus and H. gorbunovi , six other species within Halirages are described from the
northeast Atlantic: H. fulvocinctus (M. Sars, 1858),//. quadridentatus, H. nilssoni Ohlin, 1895,//. caecus
Kamenskaya, 1980, H. cainae d’Udekem d’Acoz, 2012, and H. stappersi d’Udekem d’Acoz, 2012.
Halirages helgae sp. nov. differs from all these species by the bilobed posterior margin of pereonite 7.
The posteroventral corner of epimeral plate 2 is toothed and that of epimeral plate 3 rounded. See the
synoptic table (Table 1) for a more detailed compilation of how the characters are distributed.
It can be debated whether the species Haliragoides abyssi Gurjanova, 1951 (we have not been able to
study this as no specimens were available for study) should be transferred to the genus Halirages due
to the dissimilarity it shows with the two other Haliragoides species, described by Sars (1883) and
d’Udekem d’Acoz (2007). The head of H. abyssi does not have a large, sub-cephalic process as in the
other Haliragoides species. This species also seems to lack eyes. If H. abyssi is transferred to Halirages,
10
stappersi tally 2 pairs of between teeth con- tooth
subdistal teeth cave and serrate
Haliragoides none not bilobed not present acute (with smooth according weakly rounded yes small tooth
abyssi pointed apex) to figure of coxa 2
