Abstract

Stomatolepas elegans on a Dermochelys coriacea is reported at Seiland, Finnmark, northern Norway at the highest latitude recorded for this species or for any members of its subfamily (Platylepadidae), as well as for its turtle host. The distribution of the species of Stomatolepas is given and their taxonomy is briefly discussed. A recording of data on the different species of Stomatolepas gives the distribution on the host as well as the identity and the collecting locality of the latter.
