Remarks.

This species has long been acknowledged as being quite disjunct due to the gonopod showing a parabasally twisted femorite, while the tip is rather deeply bifid, somewhat intermediate between that of typical Antheromorpha Jeekel, 1968 and Orthomorpha (see Brölemann 1904). However, both (Jeekel (1963, 1964, 1968) and Golovatch (1998) included it in Orthomorpha . We still are inclined to treat Orthomorpha paviei as a distinct species of Orthomorpha, showing the gonopod tip supplied with a remarkable spine strongly resembling that in Orthomorphoides species (see below).
