The paraterga in Orthomorpha coxisternis are definitely too narrow to represent a species of Orthomorpha (Pocock 1895; Jeekel 1965). 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 ♀ holotype coming from Bhamo, Myanmar. Even though 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.
