Abstract
In 1992 Acanthodiaptomus tibetanus was found in material from northern Norway sampled in 1979, 1992, and 1993, and in 1992 also in Sor-Trond elag, Central Norway. This species has previously been recorded from o nly a few other localities, and has a very sparse and scattered distri bution. In this paper, we discuss the distribution of this rare specie s and the reasons for its puzzling distribution pattern.
