(J004411.36+413257.2)

The star is reported to display He I, Fe II, and [Fe II] emission and was suggested as B[e]SG star [139]. Whether it displays [O I] emission was not discussed by these authors and is hence ye<sup>t</sup> unclear, although the spectrum covers that spectral region. Its J–H color is smaller than for typical B[e]SGs (but the H magnitude is uncertain), placing the star at the lower boundary for the B[e]SGs in the color–color diagram. No WISE photometry exists. The closest IR source is more than 6 arcsec away. The object is not reported in other published spectroscopic investigations to display all B[e]SG characteristics. Instead, it was listed as Fe II emission line star [98] and more recently as LBV candidate [142].

**Figure 7.** As Figure 6 but for the location of the M31 (light blue) and M33 (purple) samples in the near-IR (**top**) and the WISE diagram (**bottom**) based on their observed colors. Typical values for the objects' reddening are *A*V ≤ 1.5 mag [142].
