Blair adds the following note to his description of tin- species : 'This species hail been 

 separated by Bates from Camarimena under the name 1'i^cnx, but without < hara< -in i/ation of 

 the genus. For the present, however, until the group comes to be revised, I consider it best to 

 leave it in Camarimena.' 1 ''
