I already answered privately, but to save the time that others might 
spend searching :

There is no Boisduval volume in "Voyage au Pôle Sud et dans l'Océanie 
sur les corvettes l'Astrolabe et la Zélée, 1837-40". Furthermore, the 
names in Vratislav's request are attributed to "(XX in) Boisduval, 
1835", and it seems clear that a work describing the travels of two 
ships in the years 1837-40 cannot have been published in 1835.

This suggests that the work's title is probably wrong.

What Boisduval did publish in 1835, is a volume titled "Faune 
entomologique de l'Océanie, comprenant les Coléoptères, les Hémiptères, 
les Névroptères, les Hyménoptères et les Diptères", which was part of 
the works describing an earlier voyage of "L'Astrolabe" in the southern 
Pacific, in 1926-29.

(Notice handwritten "Voyage de l'Astrolabe / ent. II", on "Page i". On 
p.255 is Upis crenata, that Boisduval attributes to Dejean; on p.264 are 
Celibe interrupta and C. brunnipes, that Boisduval attributes to Latreille.)

Cheers, Laurent -
