152 THE AMYCTERIDiE OF THE " VOY. DE l'aSTROLABE," 



Hah. — New South Wales: Port Jackson (Boisduval). 



Labels: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Phalidura [struck out] Amycterus 

 carinata d'Urville, h. in Nova Hollandia, D. Lesson; 6, 

 Type P. carinata.

 species from the figure, I hesitate to sink Boisduval's name. 

 H. nigi'o-spinosus is certainly a Sclerorhinus.
