REMARKS
Henri
Milne Edwards (1853)
described this species based on the material collected by Webb & Berthelot who are well known for their exploration of the
Canary Islands
where they have gathered a considerable amount of material of all kinds (see Appendix). In their masterpiece “
Histoire naturelle des
îles Canaries
”, the part
Crustacea
has been authored by G. A. Brullé, and this crab was identified as
Grapsus strigosus
by Brullé (1839: 15), before it was recognised as new by H. Milne Edwards, (1853: 133 [167]) and dedicated to Webb, then synonymised to
Grapsus adscensionis
(Osbeck, 1765)
.
