Orthops genus

( Fig. 2 , node 8).

The genus Orthops has a worldwide distribution and includes 36 described species ( Schuh 2002 –2013). This clade is found to be monophyletic in maximum parsimony analyses with weak support (IW= 59%, EW= 55%). Morphological characters specific for this genus are male (such as the shape of left paramere and spicule) and female genitalia structures (such as interramal sclerites shape and distinctive form of dorsal structure in posterior wall of female genitalia).
