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 @ 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 7 and @ 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.
