Phirix (!) pachydermus, Schmidt, I. c p. 256. t. 3. f. 26, is very 

 probably a variety of coloration of the above species. Both the 

 following species have much less slender fore- extremities than the 

 specimen figured by myself; nevertheless they are alike in all 

 other respects. Phirix pachydermus by no means can be separated 

 from Phr. hihromi; and I am the more glad to state this, as the 

 name of the new genus would be a nonsense name.
