First mention of English name "fiddler crab" (commonly used by coastal residents). Also mentions these crabs as being in Leach's genus Uca. Doesn't seem aware females do not have large claw.
This paper also mentions that Say had planned on using the name Ocypode citharoedicus but then chose not to do so when he realized the name pugilator had already been used for what he believed to be the same species. As it was never used as a name, Ocypode citharoedicus has no taxonomic standing, although a few subsequent authors have mistakenly listed it as a synonym for either Gelasimus vocans or Leptuca pugilator.
