For full synonymy see Chilton's paper. It is a question 

 what the specific name of this species should be. Leach was 

 the first to describe a well-shrimp, and as this is the com- 

 monest species in our islands it ought, we think, to bear his 

 name. Chilton referred to Koch, Heft 36, pi. 22, but this 

 we regard with some doubt as representing this species, 

 while his earlier figure of 1835 is certainly a synonym.
