From editor or global species database
Nomenclature ICZN Opinion 712 treats Cancer Hippa septemdentatus Montagu, 1813 as "Hippa" being a subgenus, e.g.: Atelecyclus [Leach, 1814] (gender: masculine), type-species, by monotypy, Cancer (Hippa) septemdentatus Montagu, 1813 (Name No. 1608);
Thus there is a clear precedent interpretation that "Gammarus" should also be treated as a subgenus. [details]
