"Orthomorpha" variegata Broelemann, 1896

Orthomorpha variegata Brölemann 1896: 333 (D).

Orthomorpha variegata - Brölemann 1904: 10 (D); Attems 1898: 339 (M); 1914: 238 (M); 1937: 94 (M); Jeekel 1968: 66 (M); Golovatch 1998: 42 (D); Enghoff et al. 2004: 39 (M); Enghoff 2005: 98 (M).

Remarks.

The paraterga in “O.” variegata seem to be too narrow to represent a species of Orthomorpha ,as beautifully redescribed by Brölemann (1904) from the ♀ holotype. Golovatch (1998) included it into his key to Orthomorpha species for the sake of completeness. At present we are inclined to follow Jeekel (1968) and exclude this species from Orthomorpha altogether.
