Habitat Epigean [details]
Synonymy Besides the species described below [Boeckia spinosa], Dr. Grimm has distinguished 2 otlier species of this genus under the names B. nasuta and B. hystrix. Both these species are, however, founded upon quite immature specimens, the first-named agreeing exactly with young specimens of B. spinosa, as figured PI. II, fig. 10; and the other only differing in the dorsal prominences of the segments being somewhat stronger and elevated to acutely triangular projections. In my opinion both these supposed species ought to be withdrawn, the genus being at present only represented by a single species. [details]
