Descriptive notes
Length 14.5–20.5 (♂) or 16.5–27.5 mm (♀), width of midbody pro- and metazona 1.1–1.7 and 1.5–2.7 mm (♂), 1.1–2.5 and 1.6–3.2 mm (♀), respectively.Coloration, texture, all main somatic and gonopod characters as in Figs 4–8. Neither sternal lobe nor cone(s) between ♂ coxae 4 (Fig. 4H & I), at most only traces of poor knobs (Fig. 7H & I).
Gonopods (Figs 5, 6 & 8) with tip of solenophore produced into a single lobe, all other spikes or denticles being either missing or nearly missing.
Remarks
This pantropical species has been described and redescribed several times, often under different names (e.g. Jeekel 1968[4]). From Thailand, it had been described as Paradesmus flavocarinatus until Enghoff (2005)[8] 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.
Species with a bifid gonopod tip, with only a terminal and a subterminal denticle or lobule
