Reported distribution. Northeast Atlantic.—Widely distributed in the Northeast Atlantic: Azores ( Cornelius 1992, 1995a; Vervoort 2006), Madeira ( Cornelius 1995a), Gorringe (present study), mainland Portugal (personal observation), Spain (García-Corrales et al. 1979; Ramil 1988; Altuna & García-Carrascosa 1990; Alvarez-Claudio 1993; Altuna 1994a, b; Álvarez-Claudio & Anadón 1995; Medel & López-González 1996; Ramil et al. 1998a); Bay of Biscay ( Gourret 1906); British Isles (e.g. Hincks 1868; Cornelius 1995a; Howson & Picton 1997; France ( Cornelius 1995a); Iceland ( Hincks 1874); Norway ( Sars 1869, 1874; Hincks 1874; Christiansen 1972); Sweden ( Jagerskiold 1971; Calder 2012); Baltic Sea/North Sea ( Broch 1928).

Mediterranean.—Widely spread across the western Mediterranean: Spain ( Gili 1986; García Carrascosa 1981; Roca 1986); France ( Picard 1951b; Bellan-Santini 1970; Galea 2007), and Italy (e.g. Rossi 1961; Montanari & Morri 1977; Morri 1979, 1980, 1981). Recently recorded in the Eastern Mediterranean ( Morri et al. 2009), although records of L. tenuis from the Mediterranean may correspond to a different species— Lafoeina vilaevelebiti Hadži, 1917 (e.g. Cornelius 1995a; Vervoort 2006).

Elsewhere.—Boreal distribution ( Boero & Bouillon, 1993). Sometimes recorded in the NW Atlantic (e.g. Kramp 1932; Calder 2003), Gulf of México ( Deevey 1954), Caribbean ( Vervoort 1968) and Arctic seas (e.g. Linko 1912; Berezina 1948; Brotskaya et al. 1963; Sirenko 2001). However, many authors question the possibility of cryptic diversity within this nominal morphologically simple species (e.g. Cornelius 1995a; Schuchert 2001a; Vervoort 2006).
