Homonymy De Laubenfels (1936: 148) misidentified his Florida specimen as Carter's (1882) Terpios coerulea and transterred the species to Laxosuberites which is a junior synonym of Hymeniacidon. However, Carter's species is a genuine European Terpios (currently a j. syn. of T. gelatinosa (Bowerbank, 1866) and the Florida material is not a Terpios but a specimen of the present species Hymeniacidon caerulea Pulitzer-Finali, 1986. The names coerulea and caerulea are nomenlaturally identical (ICZN art. 58.1), rendering the two homonymous. Since both subsequent name combinations are assumed to belong to the same species, the seemingly homonymous subsequent name combinations are to merge under the junior name of Pulitzer-Finali because coerulea Carter is not considered congeneric with caerulea Pulitzer-Finali.
