 interstinctus) . Perideris rubicundula SHUTTLW., Notitise, i,

Gould subsequently referred this form to B. inter strictus 

 as a variety ; and Pf eiffer also placed it in the synonymy of 

 that species. The name precedes that of interstinctus on the 

 same page; but their specific identity needs confirmation.
