Depth range Deepsea occurrence unlikely. Zibrowius has a number of articles with information on geographic range and depth range of Hydroides norvegica. In particular in Zibrowius (1977:295 ) he points out an erroneous abyssal record (sta 274, 4808 m, Bay of Biscay, Prince of Monaco expeditions - this was not a benthic station). [details]

Depth range Deepsea occurrence unlikely. Zibrowius has a number of articles with information on geographic range and depth range of Hydroides norvegica. In particular in Zibrowius (1977:295 ) he points out an erroneous abyssal record (sta 274, 4808 m, Bay of Biscay, Prince of Monaco expeditions - this was not a benthic station). [details]Etymology Not stated, but the name for H. norvegica is evidently derived from the country of collection, Norway (Latin Norvegia), from which the feminine suffix adjective ’norvegica’ is derived. [details]
Spelling Hydroides norvegica is the spelling used by many sources (including NWARMS and ITIS) and over many years used by taxonomists also. Hydroides norvegicus, although not widely adopted, was the spelling decreed by the Code between ca 1964 and 1999. In 1999 Hydroides norvegica again became the correct spelling due to a Code change. [details]
Synonymy Read et al (2017:29) state that only two of the nine names suggested as synonyms under Hydroides norvegica in the Hartman catalogue (1959) could be confirmed (Eupomatus trypanon and Serpula solitaria) [details]
Taxonomy West to South African records partly should be referred to Hydroides capensis; from the azores to H. azoricus. [details]
Taxonomy Hydroides norvegica is a strictly boreal/Mediterranean (deeper water) taxon; all records under this name from port-fouling and/or (sub)tropical areas should be checked, but mostly belong to Hydroides elegans [details]
Type locality Trøndelag region, Norway. Trondheimsfjord off Statsbygd (~63.4687 ~10.011) is one of three locations mentioned by Gunnerus (see Moen, 2006) [details]
