1932. =semplei= (Mustela arctica) Sutton and Hamilton [= Mustela erminea semplei], Ann. Carnegie Mus., 21(2):79, February 13, 1932, originally was applied to the ermine of Southampton Island but after 1945 was applied also to the ermine of Baffin Island, Melville Peninsula and the west side of Hudsons Bay as far south as Eskimo Point.

1932. =panamensis= (Mustela frenata) Hall, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 45:139, September 9, 1932, applies to the long-tailed weasel of Panamá.

1932. =anguinae= (Mustela cicognanii) Hall [= Mustela erminea anguinae], Univ. California Publ. Zoöl., 38:417, November 8, 1932, applies to the ermine of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

When Degerbøl wrote his description and proposed this name he was unaware that Sutton and Hamilton had three years before based a new name on weasels from Southampton Island. Because the two names apply to the same subspecies, Degerbøl's name, labiata, must fall as a synonym of semplei which has priority.
