Material examined: One specimen, ESU, 08 January 2022, 50 mm, FB, NTNU-VM-83908/NUIT-1103 ; One specimen, HIL, 09 January 2022, 15 mm, FB, NTNU-VM-84427/NUIT-1104 ( Figure 4F View Figure 4 ) ; One specimen, HIL, 25 December 2023, 40 mm, FB, NUIT-1347 .
Localities: ESU, HIL
Distribution and remarks: The information on Coryphella browni in the literature is confusing. The species was considered not to be part of the Norwegian nudibranch fauna by Evertsen and Bakken (2005), but after rectification of misidentifications it is now considered an abundant species with a wide distribution (T. Bakken, NTNU, pers. comm., 2024). The present study found the species at most seasons of the year. The present records are the first records from the Tromsø region and constitute a new northernmost distribution record of the species.
