Exothorhis bixae Rimando and Corpuz-Raros species inquirenda

Exothorhis bixae Rimando and Corpuz-Raros, 1996: 112

Remarks

Exothorhis bixae was originally described based on two male specimens and was distinguished by having leg I longer than other legs and anogential setae (g 1 and g 2) set on tubercles. Based on 17 published species descriptions and illustrations and observations of more than 100 specimens (personal observation), the length of leg I males is always longer than other legs and anogential setae in male are set on tubercles. These characters cannot be used to distinguish species. Therefore, E. bixae is considered a species inquirenda.
