Description

zehntneri Carl, 1902: 584-586, pl. 10, fig. 22 [Orthomorpha].

Java, Dr. L. Zehntner (Genfer Museum). Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

The MHNG collection contains 39 specimens in alcohol in six vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14395) contains one specimen broken into three parts and a smaller vial containing gonopods. A handwritten label reads “ 1♂ syntype Orthomorpha zehntneri Carl, Java leg. L. Zehntner ” and a handwritten label in the jar states that this specimen was studied by Jeekel in 1976. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14396) contains two broken specimens and a smaller vial containing a gonopod. A handwritten label reads “ Orthomorpha zehntneri Carl, Java leg. L. Zehntner ”. The third vial (MHNG- ARTO-14397) contains two specimens, each with a pin running the length of the body. The fourth vial (MHNG- ARTO-14398) contains 11 specimens. The fifth tube (MHNG-ARTO-14399) contains 23 specimens. The sixth vial (MHNG-ARTO-14400) contains one broken specimen. The identification labels in the jar have the locality information “ Java, Zehntner” and “ Java, Dr L Zehntner” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. There is also a microscope slide preparation of gonopods (MHNG-ARTO-14535). There are two further syntypes in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00452a).

Orthomorpha zehntneri Carl, 1902, Paradoxosomatidae
