Etymology The specific epithet dubia is the feminine of the Latin adjective dubius, meaning 'uncertain' or 'doubtful', and refers to the doubtful status of the new species at the time of its description (Tebble, 1955: 123).

Homonymy When the mandatory correction to 'dubius' is made for 'dubia' then Scoloplos dubius Tebble (1953) is junior primary homonym to Scoloplos (Naidonereis) dubius Augener, 1914, and thus invalid. The subgenus is irrelevant to the homonymy (article 57.4) [details]
