Type material
Orthomus longior Chaudoir, 1873 (specimens belonging to Orthomus longior). Consists of 4 ♀♀ preserved in MNHP, investigation revealed non-conspecificity. Three specimens are identical with the lectotype of Orthomus berytensis (for these specimens see under Orthomus berytensis). The fourth female possesses labels: “Sidon” [handwritten on white label by Chaudoir], “longior” [handwritten in red with ball-pen on white label by Mateu]. This specimen is conspecific with the holotype of Orthomus sidonicus. As only that bears a locality label we choose this one as lectotype of Orthomus longior. This action led to the synonymy of Orthomus longior with Orthomus sidonicus. The two names are published on the same date in the same work (Chaudoir 1873[1]). As “first reviewing authors”, we give precedence of the former following the Article 24.2.2 of the Code (ICZN 1999[2]). Hence, the specimen in question is supplied with additional label: “Lectotype Orthomus longior Chaudoir, 1873 B.Guéorguiev & D.W.Wrase des. 2012” [black print on red label].
Type material. Feronia longula Reiche & Saulcy, 1855 (specimens belonging to Orthomus longior). The following three male and one female specimen belong to the type series of Feronia longula (MHNG, see below). The study of the genitalia of all males, as well as the external characters of both sexes proved that all specimens belong to Orthomus longior: 1 ♂, “Beyrouth” [Reiche's handwriting on yellow label], “Coll. Reiche” [black print on white label], “Orthomus longulus Reiche Label MHNG 2010” [black print on white label by G. Cuccodoro]; 1 ♂, “longulus” [Reiche's handwriting on white label], “Coll. Reiche” [black print on white label], “Orthomus longulus Reiche ‘Egypte, Syrie.’ Label MHNG 2010” [black print on white label by G. Cuccodoro]; 1 ♂, “Coll. Reiche” [black print on white label], “Orthomus longulus Reiche ‘Egypte, Syrie.’ Label MHNG 2010” [black print on white label by G. Cuccodoro]; 1 ♀, “Nazareth” [Reiche's handwriting on yellow label], “Coll. Reiche” [black print on white label], “Orthomus longulus Reiche Label MHNG 2010” [black print on white label by Cuccodoro]. All specimens with labels, subsequently added: “Paralectotype Feronia longula Reiche & Saulcy, 1855 B.Guéorguiev & D.W.Wrase des. 2012” [black print on red label], “Orthomus longior Chaudoir, 1873 det. B.Guéorguiev” [black print on white label].
Type material. Orthomus sidonicus Chaudoir, 1873. Holotype ♂ in MNHP, with extracted genitalia. The median lobe and parameres are well preserved and glued on a separate card pinned beneath the specimen. The specimen bears the following labels: “Sidon.” [handwritten on white label by Chaudoir], “sidonicus Chaud.” [handwritten in red with ball-pen on white label by Mateu], and, subsequently added: “Holotype Orthomus sidonicus Chaudoir, 1873” [black print on red label by Guéorguiev], “Orthomus longior Chaudoir, 1873 det. B. Guéorguiev” [black print on white label].
