In my Catalogue this species was given as synonymous with 

 immisericors. Walk., but, following other authors, the two were 

 ranked as distinct in the Supplement. Edwards notes • that there 

 is nothing in Doleschall's description of subulifer to prevent 

 it being the same as immisericors, in which case the Dutch 

 author's name takes precedence. He adds that Doleschall also 

 described amboinensis, which he afterwards took to be the cf of 

 his subulifer, and if that opinion should prove correct, the species 

 is distinct from immisericors. This would be true but if am- 

 boinensis and subulifer are respectively ^ and 9 of a single spe- 

 cies, the former name must be used because the description 

 precedes that of subulifer by a page (pp. 381 and 382 respec- 

 tively). Until the identity of all three alleged species is settled 

 they may be regarded as provisionally distinct.
