Phrynichus orientalis is a species of whip spider native to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.[1][2]

Unusually for species in the order Amblypygi, the antenniform legs of females are longer than those of males. However, the sexual dimorphism of the pedipalps is more typical of amblypygids, with males having longer pedipalps than females.[3]
