Sure he can add them to the new editions.
He doesn't speak to me, but I will see if he wants some to take pics of them.

Quote from someone somewhere on Google:

P. murinus RCF: red colour form
Long an short setae red/orange, often sold as P. mamillatus or P. spp. "usambara"

P. mamillatus STRAND, 1906 = P. murinus POCOCK, 1897

:eyepoke:

Waaaaayyyyyyy to early in the day for Hocus Pocus of this magnitude (I'm referring to the P.bara thread too). But well done anyway Cerat, at least your new 'additions' look interesting!!

Well thats why i posted all those links as they are all synonyms...

Just because some smart @ss in Europe says it is synonymized doesn't mean squat to me.
I believe they are 2 different species (Previously known as DCF and NCF/RCF forms of murinus). Totally different colour and size. One is found in Zimbabwe and the other in Kenya. Very different climates.

Meaning no disrespect here... but I think Cerat woke up with a spoon in hand this morning

They were synonymized at one stage, but I believe they are different species.
