♂(NHMW-3509), Indonesia, Sumatra, Lampung Prov., Way Kambas, forest road, ca 10 m, 26.12.1993, leg. R. Melisch.

Remarks.

The original description of this species was so complete and detailed ( Golovatch 1997b) that no redescription seems to be necessary. Instead, we only provide new illustrations (Figs 62 & 63) showing the coloration, structural details and gonopod conformation of Orthomorpha melischi , based on the holotype.
