Even though an initial analysis (ATel #370) suggested that the Be star USNO-B1.0 0288-0337948 was the likely counterpart to the 162-s X-ray pulsar IGR J11435-6109 (ATel #350, #362), a deeper search of the error circle using the method described in Negueruela & Schurch (2007, A&A 461, 631) detected a fainter candidate emission-line object, namely 2MASS J11440030-6107364 = USNO-B1.0 0288-0337502, which has been confirmed as the correct counterpart by a Chandra localisation (ATel #1231).
