This is a very close ally of P. ruhica, and in some cases it would 

 be difficult to separate male specimens without knowing the loca- 

 lities. This sex appears, however, usually to be distinguishable by 

 the tail in the present species being of the same testaceous red as 

 the back, instead of brighter as in Ph. ruhlcoides. On the back it 

 is also slightly darker. The female is quite distinct from that 

 of Ph. salvini, being of an olive-brown, with a yellowish tinge 

 below.
