Type locality Bering Strait. Wirén (1883) had five specimens, and he recorded "Spinther arcticus" from stations 41, 43, and 44. Only station 44 has a geolocation, 65.5667°, -168.6167° (65° 34' N, 168° 37' W), which is in the Bering Strait [details]

Etymology Not stated, but the original report by Wiren is on material from the Swedish Vega expedition. The Vega voyage 1878–1880, under the leadership of Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld, was the first Arctic expedition to navigate through the Northeast Passage, There are a number of marine species named 'vegae'.

Taxonomy Spinther vegae was published as in-text passing mention of a proposed new name by Augener (1928: 672) in reference to a specimen that Wiren (1883: 386) had identified and placed under Spinther arcticus (Sars, 1849), with a statement by Wiren that he did not consider deviations [of his Spinther from arcticus] to be so important that they should lead to the creation of a new species. v. Graff (1888) redescribed the specimen under a Spinther arcticus headline. However, Augener stated [in translation] "I consider it inadmissible that v. Graff retains the abbreviated name arcticus for another different Spinther species that Wiren keeps from the "Vega material". This latter must get a new name and I suggest the name Spinther vegae for him.". v.Graff was misleading in his use of authorities for names, but it is clear he usually meant "sensu" an author, not that the author originated the name. This was a common practice at the time. However, Hartman (1948: 16) was confused by this and incorrectly thought Wirén (1883) himself had created a homonym. Her replacement name of 'Spinther wireni' (q.v.) was not needed and is invalid. [details]
