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

 Dr. Leach, must 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 which it is doubtfully considered as synony- 

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

 the legs in the figures contained in those works.
