Group of Orthomus hispanicus

According to Jeanne [1974] this group is made up by O. hispanicus , O. perezii and O. aubryi . It is characterized by the presence of a short metepisterna, as wide as long (L/ W 1.0) and narrowed backward, convex eyes and tempora moderately long. The female genitalia show a short ( O. aubryi ) or somewhat longer ( O. hispanicus , O. perezii ) spermathecal duct, and a progressively widened spermatheca, whereas the median lobe of the aedeagus is not notable bent ventrally and the apical shaft varies between equally narrowed apicad ( O. perezii ) and an asymmetrical shape ( O. hispanicus ).
