Comment	Species group: Ctenonotus distichus species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012). Synonymy: Poe et al. 2017 recognize A. aurifer based on Ng et al. 2013 (J. Hered. 2013:104: 862–873), but the latter paper doesn’t even mention A. aurifer. Hybridization: intergrades with A. (d.) dominicensis.
Etymology	Named after Latin, aurifer = gold bearing, after the color pattern in this species.
