Vietnam . O. loriae nordicus : Schileyko, 1998 , 269. O. loriae nordicus : Schileyko, 2001 , 430. O. loriae nordicus : Schileyko, 2007 , 80. Vietnam . O. loriae nordicus : Tran et al. , 2013 , 224 (checklist). Vietnam . Diagnosis. With unusually wide coxosternal tooth-plates occupying the entire anterior margin of coxosternite, with 5–7 large teeth of which the three lateral are clearly isolated. Distribution. Vietnam . Remarks . The variation in O. loriae being such as it is, the only character distinguishing O. loriae nordicus is the unusually wide coxosternal tooth-plates. In his email dated 0 6.9.2012 Arkady Schileyko writes that he is convinced that these tooth-plates are not the result of a developmental abnormality and that more material is required to decide whether it ( loriae nordicus ) is a subspecies or a separate species. It is here retained pending further data. As O. loriae has here been synonymised under O. multidens , O.loriae nordicus becomes O. multidens nordicus comb. nov.
