According to the reading I've, done your P. nigricolor might very well be another Pamphobeteus species. In fact, the general consensus seems to be that most Pamphos are classified incorrectly in the pet trade.

By the way, how much do you want for the nigricolor? ;-)

Also, it would seem Pamphos are notoriously hard to breed. Could the reason not be, because people are actually attempting to breed different species? I know it is possible to sucessfully breed different species in a genus, but surely for every sucessful breeding, there will be many others with complications.

Thoughts?
