Orthomorpha crucifer (Pocock, 1889)

Paradesmus crucifer Pocock 1889: 293 (D).

Orthomorpha crucifera - Attems 1898: 111 (D); 1914: 238 (M); 1936: 204 (M); 1937: 93 (M); Jeekel 1968: 53 (M); Golovatch 1998: 42 (D).

Remarks.

This species still remains dubious ( Golovatch 1998), because it is based on a ♀ holotype ( Pocock 1889).Although it could be incorporated in our key below, a redescription of ♂ topotypic material is necessary to confirm the species status of Orthomorpha crucifer. At present it is only known from King Island, Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar ( Pocock 1889).
