N2 - The biodiversity of freshwater fauna of the Arctic Islands of the Russian Federation is currently poorly studied and to datethere are insufcient molecular genetic data concerning most of the taxa. This study presents the new data on species composition and distribution of freshwater benthic invertebrates in lakes of the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago and Vaigach Islandbased on both the published and the original records. A total of 29 species of invertebrates in 4 classes and 14 orders werefound. Considering the published data, the list of species expands to 136 species. The copepod Mesocyclops leuckarti, thepontoporeid amphipod Monoporeia afnis, the ostracod Leucocythere mirabilis, and the mollusk Euglesa globularis wererecorded for the frst time from the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago. The oligochaete Rhyacodrilus coccineus, the stonefyNemoura sahlbergi, the caddisfies Agrypnia obsoleta, Micrasema gelidum and Philarctus bergrothi were registered for thefrst time from Vaigach Island; P. bergrothi was also recorded for the frst time from Europe. The crane fy larvae of Tipula(Arctotipula) were recorded as inhabitants of the bottom layer of Arctic lakes for the frst time. The obtained molecular dataare in accordance with the tabula rasa hypothesis that the invertebrate fauna of the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago and VaigachIsland are the result of recent species immigration after the Last Glacial Maximum. Our data can be used in further ecologicalstudies and conservation management. The molecular data are of considerable interest for the taxonomy and biogeographyof the fauna of the Arctic islands during the Pleistocene.
