Abstract
Collections of ostracods from various habitats in and around Lake Inari, Finnish Lapland, provide the first record of these crustaceans from Finland north of the Arctic Circle. From a total of 35 sites visited, 14 species were collected, out of which four appeared to be new to Finland: Fabaeformiscandona lapponica , Pseudocandona pratensis , Eucypris pigra and Paralimnocythere relicta . Two major assemblage groups were recognised by clustering classification and multi-dimensional scaling ordination, one dominated by Cyclocypris ovum , the second by Candona candida . Taxonomic diversity of the most assemblages was of expected range based on the inventory of 53 freshwater species of Finland.
