Remarks. Hesse (1876) did not name this species in the usual sense of the concept in that he merely provided a Latin translation of the French vernacular phrase “pleurocrypte de porcellane longicorne” (the Pleurocrypta of Porcellana longicornis ), although he did include the notation of “Nobis” after the Latin text. Therefore, in accordance with ICZN Article 11.9.5, the species name cannot be cited as either “ porcellanae ” or “ longicornis ”, but rather must bear the unwieldy form of “ porcellanaelongicornis ,” as the name is based on that of the host species. Giard & Bonnier (1887b) cited Hesse (1876, p. 202 footnote) in the context of another species discussed in that paper to lament the publication of Hesse’s entire series, Crustaces rares ou nouveaux des côtes de France, which they considered to be of substandard quality. Interestingly, Giard & Bonnier (1887b) did not place the blame for the “déplorable gâchis introduit dans la Carcinologie” on Hesse, but rather on the professors of La Sorbonne and the Museum who allowed these “plus bizarres élucubatrions” to be published in their journals.

It should be noted that Hesse’s first initial is given as “M.” in his publications, but that this stood for “Monsieur”, as his given name was Charles Eugène Hesse (see Delamare Deboutteville 1965) and he was an amateur zoologist. For reasons unexplained, he is most often cited in copepod publications (e.g., Özdikmen 2008) as “E. Hesse” (a usage which never appeared in any of his papers). Hesse should be cited in bibliographies as “Hesse, [C. E.]”, as this is the most accurate form.
