(20) Monocorophium insidiosum (Crawford, 1937) View in CoL

Status in U.K. – cryptogenic.

Monocorophium insidiosum was first recorded from the monitoring programme in 2013 and has been recorded from many sites since 2015, from both settlement panel and scrape samples.

Monocorophium insidiosum View in CoL often associates with artificial habitats and is considered non-native in several regions ( Chapman 2000; Heiman et al. 2008; Marchini and Cardeccia 2017). Chapman (2000) considered it native to the north-west Atlantic but introduced in all other regions and Marchini and Cardeccia (2017) stated that it has become so widely distributed that its original range is unknown. We herein regard it as cryptogenic in the U.K., in keeping with Minchin (2007a) who reported it as cryptogenic in Ireland.
