On the Species Upogebia stellata and Gebia deltura
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 November 2009
Extract
As remarked by Stebbing (A History of Recent Crustacea, p. 185): “Upogebia, Leach, 1814, was founded to receive another species discovered by the industrious Montagu, and described by him in 1805 (1808) as Cancer astacus stellatus. … It seems to have escaped the notice of writers subsequent to Leach that the earliest name of this genus was Upogebia, which therefore must be retained in preference to Leach's own alteration of it into Gebia, or Risso's Gebios.”
