Remarks.

This pantropical species has been described and redescribed several times, often under different names (e.g. Jeekel 1968). From Thailand, it had been described as Paradesmus flavocarinatus until Enghoff (2005) showed it to actually represent still another synonym of Orthomorpha coarctata. No full catalogue is attempted here as being superfluous, with hundreds of references involved.

Our restudy of the type material of Orthomorpha coarctata gigas, kept in NHMW (Figs 7 & 8), confirms Jeekel’s (1968) synonymization of this subspecies with Orthomorpha coarctata s. str.
