Terhya norvegica Bowerbank, 1872, a northern species generally synonymized with T. aurantium, has been studied from Scotland, The Faroes, Norway, Iceland, Spitzbergen and Bear Island. The species is redescribed and its North East Atlantic distribution delimited. Terhya norvegica is compared, on the basis of morphometric and electrophoretic features. with T. aurantium and T. citrina. Morphological, morphometric and electrophoretic data suggest that T. norvegica is a distinct biological species.
