    Action: changed name from "Cancer productus" to "Cryptolithodes sitchensis "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "Common name is Umbrella Crab. Accepted common names can be found in Williams, A.B. et al. 1989. Common and scientific names of aquatic invertebrates from the United States and Canada. Amer. Fish. Soc. Special Publ. 17. Photo is badly misidentified; this is an anomuran crab, not a brachyuran."
