Notes: This is not <strong>the</strong> definitative inventory!<br />

This list is based on a collection <strong>of</strong> over 600 articles concerning <strong>the</strong> terrestrial <strong>invertebrate</strong> <strong>fauna</strong> <strong>of</strong> Svalbard. None<strong>the</strong>less it should be not be considered as an<br />

accurate overview <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> complete <strong>invertebrate</strong> <strong>fauna</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> archipelago. The terrestrial <strong>invertebrate</strong> <strong>fauna</strong> is largely only known from two localities on<br />

Svalbard, Ny-Ålesund (Kongsfjorden) <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Isfjorden region. Little is known about <strong>the</strong> <strong>fauna</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> east coast or <strong>the</strong> interior. In addition <strong>the</strong>re are large<br />

numbers <strong>of</strong> doubtful identifications <strong>and</strong> possible confusion in <strong>the</strong> taxonomy.<br />

Wherever possible synonyms occuring in <strong>the</strong> Svalbard literature are presented in smaller font.<br />

This list is an ongoing project <strong>of</strong> Coulson, S.J. 2007 The terrestrial <strong>and</strong> <strong>freshwater</strong> <strong>invertebrate</strong> <strong>fauna</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> High Arctic archipelago <strong>of</strong> Svalbard. Zootaxa<br />
