Orthomorpha bisulcata - Attems 1898: 338 (M); 1903: 64 (R); 1914: 237 (M); 1936: 204 (M); 1937: 93 (M); Jeekel 1968: 66 (M); Golovatch 1998: 42 (D).

"Orthomorpha" bisulcata - Jeekel 1965: 141 (D).

Remarks.

The paraterga in Orthomorpha bisulcata are definitely too narrow to represent a species of Orthomorpha ( Pocock 1895; Jeekel 1965). Attems (1903) recorded it from Tjibodas, Java, Indonesia, apparently a misidentification. Both Attems (1937) and Jeekel (1968) referred to it as a species incertae sedis, because it was based only on ♀ material. It has been adequately redescribed by Jeekel (1965) from the ♀ lectotype coming from Rangoon, Myanmar. 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.
