Notes
Questionable status. Species complex. At least two putative cryptic species exist in the Canadian Pacific ( Carr et al. 2011). Records of Laonice cirrata in the Mediterranean may actually belong to Laonice bahusiensis Söderström 1920 ( Mikac 2015, see Sikorski 2003 for differences between species). The former is restricted to circumpolar areas, the very similar Laonice bahusiensis , however, has a more southern distribution and is also present in the Central and Eastern Mediterranean ( Sikorski 2003, Çınar et al. 2014). Fauvel (1927) synonymised Laonice bahusiensis with Laonice cirrata , including only Laonice cirrata in his key. Laonice bahusiensis may therefore be underreported or misidentified and all previous records of Laonice cirrata need to be investigated to confirm their identity.
