From editor or global species database
Synonymy Kirtley (1994: 58) split Hartman's (1944) subspecies (S. floridensis stephensoni) between the nominal species (he notes it as a new synonymy) and S. vulgaris of Verrill. Kirtley notes that Hartman's specimens are small young animals with about 40% looking like S. floridensis. Perhaps he should simply have synonymized all the specimens back into the nominal species S. floridensis, unless it is really possible for mixed species clusters to occur. [details]From other sources
