NUMBER 38 15
cornutus. [U.S.: Barren and Green river systems in
Kentucky and Tennessee] Williams, et al., 1989:21;
Hobbs, 1989:12.
bouragin PARASTACIDAE, "crayfish," probably =
Cherax neopunctatus and/or Engaeus sp. [Australia:
New South Wales; Richmond River (possibly =
Arakwal Aboriginal tribe of Tindale, 1974:191 (153°-
20'E x 28°50'S))] Edwards, in Curr, 1887(III):288,
Sta. 178. See burnicum and murry.
bowgili PARASTACIDAE, "crayfish," probably =
Cherax destructor. [Australia: Queensland; Upper
Warrego and Paroo rivers (probably = Kunja Aboriginal
tribe of Tindale, 1974:178 (146°10'E x 26°50'S))]
Conn, in Curr, 1887(III):278, Sta. 177. See boagalli,
bogally, boligar, boogal, boogali, boogalli, boogarli,
boogurrie, bookill, bookillee, bowgili, buggilla,
bugili, and mamuru.
Brazoria crayfish CAMBARIDAE, Procambarus
(Capillicambarus) brazoriensis. [U.S.: Texas; Brazoria
Co.] Williams, etal., 1989:25; Hobbs, 1989:55.
buggilla PARASTACIDAE, "crayfish," probably =
Cherax destructor. [Australia: Queensland; Bulloo
River, Thargominda(= Thargomindah), Wonkomarra
Aboriginal tribe, which may = Wongkumara Aboriginal
tribe of Tindale, 1974:190 (141°50'E x 27°35'S),
but more likely, from the map in Curr, 1887(I)V, =
Maranganji Aboriginal tribe of Tindale, 1974:181
(144°35'E x 27°20'S). The exact place designation of
this tribe is confusing in that Tindale places the Wonkomarra
tribe on Cooper's Creek, some 125 km W of
Thargomindah. It is probable that My les was referring
to several tribes in the region with similar languages,
but Curr's map shows Sta. 52 in the Maranganji tribal
area] Myles, in Curr, 1886(II):36-40, Sta. 52. See
boagalli, bogally, boligar, boogal, boogali, boogalli,
boogarli, boogurrie, bookill, bookillee, bowgili,
buggilla, and bugili.
bugili PARASTACIDAE, "crayfish," probably =
Cherax destructor. [Australia: Queensland; Paroo and
Warrego rivers, Margany Aboriginal tribe (= Maranganji
Aboriginal tribe of Tindale, 1974:181 (144°35'E
x 27°20'S)), and Gunya Aboriginal tribe (= Kunja
Aboriginal tribe of Tindale, 1974:178 (146°10'E x
26°50'S)). Note that this area is adjacent to the Bulloo
River] Dixon and Blake, 1981, Vol. 2:366. See
boagalli, bogally, boligar, boogal, boogali, boogalli,
boogarli, boogurrie, bookill, bookillee, bowgili,
buggilla, and mamuru.
burnicum PARASTACIDAE, "lobster," probably =
Cherax neopunctatus and/or Euastacus sp. [Australia:
New South Wales; Ballina (possibly = Arakwal Aboriginal
tribe of Tindale, 1974:191 (153°20'E x 28°-
50'S))] Ross, in Curr, 1887(111):290, Sta. 178. See
bouragin and murry.

"Saint-Amour (Jura)," citing Monnier, 1823, which is
likely also = Monnier, 1831, q.v.

(Dirigicambarus) shufeldtii. [U.S.: Missouri, southern
Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama] Williams,
