New MMT/Hectospec spectroscopy centered on the galaxy cluster A2626 and covering a ${\sim} 1.8\,\text{deg}^2$ area out to $z \sim 0.46$ more than doubles the number of galaxy redshifts in this region. The spectra confirm four clusters previously identified photometrically. A2625, which was previously thought to be a close neighbor of A2626, is in fact much more distant. The new data show six substructures associated with A2626 and five more associated with A2637. There is also a highly collimated collection of galaxies and galaxy groups between A2626 and A2637 having at least three and probably four substructures. At larger scales, the A2626–A2637 complex is not connected to the Pegasus–Perseus filament.
