Genus Odonturisca Gorochov, 2008

NOTE. Originally, this genus contained two species: O. serricauda (Karny, 1924) and O.

grigoriji Gorochov, 2008 (type species) from Sumatra and Borneo (Trus Madi Mt),

respectively. These species are characterized by the male genitalia with an almost cruciform sclerite, and the ovipositor with numerous denticles on the upper and lower valves. Besides,

the two other species, for which only males are known, have a similar genital sclerite and were originally attributed either to this genus in doubt (O.? epiproctalis Gorochov, 2008

from Trus Madi Mt) or to the genus Breviratura Gorochov, 2007 ( B. brevis Gorochov, 2008

from the same mountain); the latter genus is very different from all other true or probable

Odonturisca representatives in its external structure, and these genera may be two subgenera of the same genus.
