CommentSynonymy: Oplurus bibronii GUICHENOT 1848 was removed from the synonymy of Phymaturus palluma by Troncoso-Palacios et al (2013) who recognized Phymaturus paihuanense as conspecific. In the species list of Lobo et al. 2013 Phymaturus bibronii is not listed but Phymaturus paihuanense is.

Group: This species belongs to the palluma group (fide LOBO et al. 2015). 
EtymologyNamed after Gabriel Bibron (1806-1848), French zoologist.

P. paihuanense was named after the type locality.
