(21) Crassicorophium bonellii (H. Milne Edwards, 1830) View in CoL

Status in U.K. – cryptogenic.

Crassicorophium bonellii View in CoL has a widely reported distribution but the identity of the species is problematic and it is possible that a species complex is involved ( Marchini and Cardeccia 2017). Chapman (2007) considered that C. bonellii View in CoL was indistinguishable from Monocorophium acherusicum View in CoL . In the current sampling programme C. bonellii View in CoL has been found at Vanguard in 2013 and from a scrape sample at Gutter Sound in 2016 but it has also been recorded in MNCR surveys in 1995 and 1997 ( Murray et al. 1999).

Its widespread nature and association with human vectors makes establishing the native range of the species problematic ( Marchini and Cardeccia 2017) and we consider it to be a cryptogenic species in the U.K.
