"Orthomorpha" crinita Attems, 1900 Fig. 115

Orthomorpha crinita Attems 1900: 142 (D).

Orthomorpha (?) crinita - Mauriès 1980: 161 (M).

? Orthomorpha crinita - Golovatch & Korsós 1992: 29 (M); Golovatch & Gerlach 2010: 399 (D).

Syntypes.

2 ♀ (NHMW-7986), Seychelles, Mahé Island, primeval forest, 1895, leg. A. Brauer.

Descriptive notes.

Length 19-20 mm, width of midbody pro- and metazona 2.1-2.2 and 2.5-2.6 mm, respectively. Coloration of alcohol material upon long-term preservation uniformly light grey-brown (Fig. 115).

Metaterga densely and irregularly setose. All other somatic characters as in Fig. 115.

Remarks.

This species has been described from three ♀ syntypes, still known only from the type locality: Mahé Island, Seychelles ( Golovatch & Gerlach 2010). Superficially, it differs readily from the only other paradoxosomatid endemic to the Seychelles, Diglossosternoides curiosus Golovatch and Korsós, 1992, tribe Eustrongylosomatini , in the remarkably densely setose collum and following metaterga ( Golovatch and Korsós 1992).

Based both on the morphological characters (e.g. the narrow paraterga and densely setose metaterga) and distribution, there can be no doubt that Orthomorpha crinita has nothing to do with Orthomorpha .
