A northern boreal medusa occurring in coastal areas from the Barents Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea. Also present around Iceland, western Greenland and New England. The records for NE Pacific were referred to the very similar B. multitentaculata Foerster, 1923 by Arai & Brinckmann-Voss (1980), but later changed to B. principis (Cairns et al., 2002).
