It's very minor, but my references have Gray publishing the description in 1842. Here's an online reference.

If author has a different reference, happy to discuss.

AMNH also has it as 1842. I will change it now, I think it is just a typo (though I didn't write this one). --liquidGhoul 04:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Distribution

Should have mentioned this before, but I'm fairly sure L. nasuta isn't found south of the Hawkesbury River. The NPWS Wildlife Atlasonly has records as far south as just north of Newcastle (Port Stephens and Maitland), but I know they can be found around the Olneys, near Ourimbah, and just south of Gosford at Empire Bay.

They were once found in Sydney (around Avalon was the most recent I've heard records of them being in Sydney), but I'm not sure if they still are. Froggydarb 07:50, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
