Taxonomy Hartman (1957) records both Aricidea suecica, and also A. near suecica. Later (1965) she described A. near suecica as a new species, Aricidea neosuecica, but also continued to record "Aricidea suecica Eliason, 1920, anoculate" [indicating no eyes, but unusual to put this in a headline] [details]
