The references of this species to Linnseus and Olfers, given by 

 Dr. Leach, mušt be considered as dubious. Frisch (vol. ii. pt. 5. 

 pi. 5.) has represented an insect, which, from the shortness of the 

 legs, may possibly be intended for this species. That it is not the spe- 

 cies figured by Latreille in the ' Histoire Naturelle' and the ' Genera 

 Crustaceorum,' (with "vvhich it is doubtfuUy considered as synony- 

 mous by Dr. Leach,) is evident from the length and slenderness of 

 the legs in the figures contained in those works.
