Java, Dr. L. Zehntner (Genfer Museum). One ♂ and one ♀.

The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol in two vials. One vial (MHNG-ARTO-14401) contains the lectotype designated by Jeekel (1980b: 332). The specimen had a pin running the lenth of the body, but two parts of the anterior of the body have become detached. The vial also contains a smaller vial containing gonopods. A second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14402) contains a paralectotype with a pin running the length of the body. The identification labels in the jar have “ Java, Zehntner and “ Java, Dr L Zehntner” written on them respectively, and a handwritten label indicates that the specimens were studied by Jeekel in 1976. Jeekel (1980b) designated Orthomorpha coriacea as the type species of the genus Nesorthomorpha Jeekel, 1980 in the original description of the genus.
