Four excesses (IGR J11567+3700, IGR J12488+3315, IGR J13371+1520 and IGR J13103+2001)
detected by INTEGRAL/IBIS in a deep observation of the Coma region (Krivonos et al., 2005, ApJ, 625, 89)
have recently been observed with the Swift/XRT X-ray telescope.
Within the 4 arcmin IBIS error box we do not detect any X-ray source
above 3 sigma confidence level.
We further notice that none of the above excesses
has been reported in the literature afterwards nor is listed in recent
INTEGRAL/IBIS survey catalogs (Bird et al., 2007, ApJ Supp in press, astro-ph/0611493 ; Krivonos et al., 2007,
astro-ph/0701836).
We therefore conclude that they are probably spurious detections and do not
correspond to real INTEGRAL sources.
