Yes.

"猫耳を生やした『兵士』の女性がが二人! ニィとリィだ. 猫又だっけか. ただし, 小猫ちゃんとは種族が違うそうだが……."

Which roughly translates to ...

"Two cat-eared girl [Pawns]! It's Ni and Li. Or was it Nekomata? (correcting himself on just calling them nekomimis) However, I heard from Koneko-chan that they are from a different race. (Koneko and Kuroka are from the strongest species of Nekomatas, Nekoshou)"
