Descriptive notes

Length 33–42 (♂) or 33–51 mm (♀), width of midbody pro- and metazona 2.6–3.6 and 4.0–6.0 mm (♂), 2.9–4.5 and 4.7–6.7 mm (♀), respectively.
Coloration of live animals (Fig. 75A) blackish-brown with contrasting yellow paraterga and epiproct, most of metaterga being light grey-brown; coloration of alcohol material upon long-term preservation blackish-brown to faded dark castaneous brown with contrasting yellow to pallid paraterga, epiproct and hind halves of metaterga (Figs 74, 75B-H & K-M); pattern mostly light creamy-yellowish, including paraterga’s dorsal and ventral parts, with contrasting dark brown to blackish cingulations of prozona and of anterior parts of metaterga. Collum either completely light or also bearing a dark, oblong, transverse, more or less large spot in front 1/3.
Calluses of several midbody and/or posterior metaterga (16–19) can be less strongly convex laterally (Fig. 75L & M).
Tip of solenophore narrowly rounded to sharply dentiform, rather depending on aspect (Figs 76–78).

Remarks

The original description of this species was complete and detailed enough (Golovatch 1998[1]) to require no complete redescription. Instead, we provide new illustrations (Figs 74–78) that show the coloration, structural details and gonopod conformation of Orthomorpha subkarschi, based both on the holotype and new samples. Orthomorpha subkarschi appears to be quite widespread in southern Thailand (Map 3).
