Remarks

Giuffrida-Ruggeri (1915) established the subspecies proto-aethiopicus for Combe Capelle. Campbell (1965) lists this taxon as an objective junior synonym of Homo aurignacensis hauseri. Giuffrida-Ruggeri (1921) transfers the subspecies proto-aethiopicus to the species Homo meridionalis.

Under Article 32.5.2.3 the subspecies name proto-aethiopicus should be corrected to protoaethiopicus.
