Types

Primary Type: holotype [There are big systematic confusion as to the validity of this available name. There is no type locality for the taxon, and Lamarck's description is very brief. Some authors have the view that Hipponyx australis Quoy & Gaimard, 1835 [434] is a subsequent reference of A. conica (eg. ), while others have the oppinion that this is a different species (eg. <0893> [600]). One of the latest revisions of the taxon puts A. conica as the available name as this taxon .] Schumacher, C.F. 1817. p.181, pl. 21, fig. 4
