Phimochirus holthuisi. – McLaughlin, 1981b: tab. 5, Suriname, French Guiana [R/V Pillsbury, st. 684, 14/07/1968, 7°19'N, 56°51'W, 55–58 m, st. 650, 8/07/1968, 6°07'N, 52°19'W, 84–91 m]. — Riger, 1998: 415, Brazil Amapá. — Melo, 1999: 140, Brazil Amapá. — Lima et al. 2019: 51, “Guyanas” [In distribution].
Distribution/Habitat – WA; Marine; 2–91 m to ?218 m.
Remark – Felder et al. (2019) must be consulted as they consider that the Holthuis' Suriname record is probably not Pylopagurus holthuisi s.s. but instead P. formani nov. Sp. According to them all Brazilian records of P. holthuisi must be also "reevaluated to determine the extent to which they indeed may represent P. holthuisi s.s."
