Phalmigimnpalmatum Herbst, Natursyst. ungefl. Ins., I, 1800, p. 82. 
Two specimens: Lares, January 25; Hacienda Esperanza, June 6 
(Wagener). They will not agree with any of Pocock's numerous 
species based on forms of this variable Phrynid, and so might be 
classed as a new form.

four transverse lines on the abdomen, the anterior two ending in a 
larger spot each side; some of these lines, usually the hind ones, 
are connected in the middle; legs and palpi pale, more or less netted 
with black; venter dark red-brown. Palpus of usual shape, legs not 
very long, with few granulations; hind coxa3 with some short, but
