Ng et al. (2008: 250) recognised eight species in Orthotheres Sakai, 1969 (see also Ahyong &amp; Ng, 2007). Five of these species occur in the western Pacific: O. glaber (Bürger, 1895) (= Pinnotheres impressus Bürger, 1895) [Philippines]; O. haliotidis Geiger &amp; Martin, 1999 [Australia]; O. laevis (Bürger, 1895) [Philippines]; O. longipes (Bürger, 1895) [Philippines]; and O. turboe Sakai, 1969 [Japan and Palau]; with four others in the Americas: O. barbatus (Desbonne, in Desbonne &amp; Schramm, 1867) [West Indies]; O. serrei (Rathbun, 1909) [Puerto Rico]; O. strombi (Rathbun, 1905) [Florida]; and O. unguifalcula (Glassell, 1936) [Mexico]. Campos (1989), however, had earlier removed O. laevis and O. longipes from the genus and referred them back to Pinnotheres, commenting that “… unlike Orthotheres, the female’s carapace of these species are not appreciably broader than long, and the dactylus of the walking legs are not uniformly very short and sharply hooked.” (Campos, 1989: 1125). He also suggested that Pinnotheres glaber (Bürger, 1895) and Pinnotheres impressus Bürger, 1895, were close to O. laevis and O. longipes. Ahyong &amp; Ng (2007) argued that because of the unusual structure of the MXP3 palp, it seemed best to retain Pinnotheres laevis and Pinnotheres longipes, as well as Pinnotheres glaber (which they regarded as a senior synonym of Pinnotheres impressus) in Orthotheres for the time being. Campos (1989) is certainly correct in his assertion that Orthotheres is not monophyletic.</p> <p>Orthotheres turboe (type species of the genus), O. haliotidis and O. baoyu n. sp. form a tight group that should be recognised as Orthotheres s. str. Members of this genus are characterised by possessing a carapace which is transversely ovate and much wider than long, the females have a distinct front that is not prominently deflexed and is still visible from dorsal view; the MXP3 ischiomerus is subrectangular to subovate with the mesial margin gently concave; the MXP3 has a subcylindrical and elongate propodus with its dorso-distal margin extending beyond the articulation with the dactylus which is inserted subterminally on it; the ambulatory dactylus is strongly curved (almost at right angles) and prominently hook-like (Figs. 3A, B, D–H, J–M; 6A–K; 9); and the dactylus of P3 and P4 is relatively shorter and broader, with the ventral surface prominently concave (Figs. 3E, G; 6J; 9E). The concave ventral surfaces of the P3 and P4 dactyli are more pronounced in female specimens. The dactylus on the other legs is flattened laterally, but there is not prominent concavity on the ventral surface. In O. haliotidis and O. baoyu n. sp., the MXP3 dactylus insertion on the cylindrical propodus is clearly subterminal (Figs. 2B, C, G; 5 B–E; 8D–F). The condition in O. turboe is the same (Sakai, 1969: fig. 19a) although his figure is not very precise. The problem is that in these species, the carpus of the palp is not inserted at the margin of the ischiomerus but actually submarginally on the inner surface (Sakai, 1969: fig. 19a). As such, it is not easy to draw the palp accurately with the surfaces flat.</p> <p>A second group contains the American species: O. barbatus, O. serrei, O. strombi and O. unguifalcula, all of which have female carapaces that are also distinctly wider than long and the front strongly deflexed such that it is not visible from dorsal view (cf. Rathbun, 1918: pl. 19 figs. 1–4, 9, 11, pl. 20 figs. 1, 2; Campos, 1989: fig. 2). The mesial margin of the MXP3 ischiomerus of these species is also deeply concave, and the MXP3 propodus is clearly short and subovate or subconical rather than elongate, with the dactylus inserted terminally (cf. Rathbun, 1905: unnumbered second figure; Rathbun, 1909: 69, unnumbered figure; Rathbun, 1918: figs. 41, 44a, 45; Campos, 1989: figs. 1b, 3a). The MXP3 palp of O. unguifalcula figured by Glassell (1936: pl. 21 fig. 2) is inaccurate and it actually has three rather than two articles (see Campos, 1989: fig. 3a). The MXP3 ischiomerus of O. barbatus figured by Rathbun (1918: fig. 44a) is rather short but appears to be damaged. The ambulatory dactyli of all four species are also gently curved and not strongly hooked (cf. Rathbun, 1918: pl. 19 figs. 1–4, 8–11, pl. 20 figs. 1, 2; Campos, 1989: fig. 2).</p> <p>There is a third group for the remaining West Pacific species. As re-described and figured by Ahyong &amp; Ng (2007: fig. 24), O. glaber (= O. impressus) differs markedly from other Orthotheres in having a rounded carapace, the female frontal margin is visible from dorsal view, and the ambulatory legs (notably the dactyli) are asymmetrical, and while curved, are not prominently hooked. The carapace shape and P2–P5 characters are more typical of species of Arcotheres Manning, 1993, but the form of the palp is clearly different. Orthotheres laevis and O. longipes also share the same set of characters as O. glaber; and all three species probably belong to their own group (cf. Bürger, 1895: pl. 9 figs. 23–25, 31; pl. 10 figs. 21–24; Ahyong &amp; Ng, 2007: fig. 3E, F). The MXP3 dactylus is inserted subterminally in O. glaber (Ahyong &amp; Ng, 2007: fig. 24C, F); but appear to be more terminal in position for O. laevis and O. longipes (cf. Bürger, 1895: pl. 10 figs. 22, 24).</p> <p>While Orthotheres s. str. can be defined relatively easily; the other two groups of species previously referred to this genus will need to referred to new genera in the future. Specimens of these species are now being examined, and new genera will need to be established for them once this study is complete.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F46A33FF9FFFC6FC6E292A8EFDF994	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Eyes distinctly visible in dorsal view (Figs. 1A; 2F). MXP3 as in female (Fig. 2G). Anterior thoracic sternum relatively wide sternites 1, 2 fused, with shallow concave suture (towards buccal cavity) separating from sternite 3; sternites 3, 4 fused, with very shallow groove separating them; sternoabdominal cavity reaching to just before suture between sternites 3/4.

G2 short, with subspatuliform tip; exopod stout, almost as long as endopod (Fig. 2L).</p> <p>Remarks. Sakai (1969: 277) stated that a female (presumably the holotype) was 13.0 by 8.5 mm while a male specimen was 5.1 by 5.0 mm. The present holotype female measures 12.7 × 9.1 mm and the paratype male is 4.8 × 4.5 mm. The holotype female and paratype specimens examined agree with those he figured (Sakai, 1969: pl. 2 figs. 1, 2). The MXP3 of the species, as figured by Sakai (1969) is misleading. It was clearly drawn in situ from the inner surface, with the structure still attached to the specimen and probably also at an angle, making it appear longer; and the propodus and dactylus very short (Sakai, 1969: fig. 19a). The MXP3 is actually less elongate, and the propodus and dactylus much longer (Fig. 2B).</p> <p>For comparisons with O. haliotidis and O. baoyu n. sp., see remarks for the latter species.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F46A33FF9EFFC2FC08291E8CBBFCB4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Anterior thoracic sternum relatively wide sternites 1, 2 fused, with shallow concave suture (towards buccal cavity) separating from sternite 3; sternites 3, 4 fused, with very shallow groove separating them; sternopleonal cavity reaching to just before suture between sternites 3/4.

G2 short, with rounded tip; exopod stout, shorter than endopod (Fig. 3M).</p> <p>Remarks. The present specimens agree well with the description and figures of Geiger &amp; Martin (1999) whose specimens were from Queensland and Western Australia (see also Ahyong &amp; Brown, 2003). The MXP3 ischiomerus depicted by Geiger &amp; Martin (1999) appears to be dimorphic although the authors did not discuss it. The inner distolateral margin of the ischiomerus of the male paratype was shown as almost straight and sloping, with the edge angular (Geiger &amp; Martin, 1999: figs. 3A, 4A, B) whereas that of the female holotype was figured as evenly convex with the edge rounded (Geiger &amp; Martin, 1999: fig. 4C). The condition of the male paratype agrees well with those observed for the present series of specimens for both sexes, and there is no dimorphism observed. It is possible the female holotype figured by Geiger &amp; Martin (1999: fig. 4C) is anomalous in this character or the structure was figured at an angle. Geiger &amp; Martin (1999: fig. 3) shows a gently curved G1 with a relatively short distal part although Geiger &amp; Martin (1999: fig. 7) indicates a G1 more like the present one (Fig. 5I, K), with the distal part more elongated and curved at right angles. The median part of the G1 looks as if it has a low indentation (cf. Geiger &amp; Martin 1999: fig. 7B) but this appears to be an artifact of the SEM process.</p> <p>For comparisons with O. turboe and O. baoyu n. sp., see remarks for the latter species.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F46A33FF9AFFC0FF1A2CFE8CBBF825	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Paratype: 1 poorly preserved female (8.6 × 7.1 mm) (NTOUCP 20020627b), same data as holotype.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Female: Carapace transversely ovate, wider than long, width to length ratio 1.35; dorsal surface smooth, glabrous, gently convex; front projecting slightly anteriorly beyond orbits, entire, margin gently sinuous with shallow median concavity (Figs. 7A, B; 8A). Eyes small, just visible in dorsal view; mobile, completely filling orbit (Figs. 7B; 8A). MXP3 outer surface with numerous short plumose setae; dactylus elongate, inserted distinctly before base of propodus; propodus about 2 times length of dactylus, cylindrical, as long as subovate carpus; carpus inserted on inner surface of ischiomerus, below distal margin; ischiomerus very long, articles completely fused, anteromesial angle of merus rounded from lateral view, subangular from submesial view; exopod relatively stout, ca. 1/2 length of ischiomerus, flagellum 2–segmented (Fig. 8 D–F).

Abdomen wide, extending to buccal region, covering bases of ambulatory legs; telson deeply recessed into distal margin of somite 6 with distinctly sinuous distal margin (Fig. 8B). Male: not known.</p> <p>Etymology. The species name is derived from the Chinese name for abalone, “bao-yu”. The name is used as a noun in apposition.</p> <p>Remarks. The three species differ in various characters. For well-preserved female specimens, the dorsal carapace surface of O. haliotidis (Fig. 4C) and O. turboe (Fig. 1C) is distinctly more convex compared to that of O. baoyu n. sp. (Fig. 7B). Although the carapace width to length ratios do not reflect it, the carapace of O. turboe appears to be the widest because posterolateral parts are more prominently expanded laterally (Figs. 1B; 2A); in O. haliotidis and O. baoyu, the posterolateral areas are only gently convex (Figs. 4B; 5A; 7A; 8A). The frontal margin of O. turboe is diagnostic in that it is distinctly sinuous, with the median part prominently concave (Figs. 1B; 2A). In O. haliotidis and O. baoyu, the frontal margin is only slightly sinuous with the median part gently concave (Figs. 4B; 5A; 8A). The MXP3 are distinct for O. baoyu; it has the most prominently elongated ischiomerus, with the anteromesial part rounded when it is lying flat (Fig. 8D). In O. turboe and O. haliotidis, the ischiomerus is relatively shorter (Figs. 2D, G; 5B, D) with the anteromesial part somewhat weakly angular to angular in O. turboe (Fig. 2D, G) and distinctly angular in O. haliotidis (Fig. 5B, D; Geiger &amp; Martin, 1999: figs. 3A, 4). In O. baoyu, only when the ischiomerus is tilted at a 30° angle does the anterointernal part appear angular (Fig. 8E), but is distinctly rounded when it is observed flat down (Fig. 8D). The female chela of O. baoyu is distinct in that it is proportionately the longest, and the occlusal margin behind the large subproximal tooth on each finger is entire (Fig. 8C). In O. turboe and O. haliotidis, the female chelae are distinctly shorter and the occlusal margin behind the large subproximal tooth on each finger is lined with several denticles (Figs. 3C; 6M). The proportions of the ambulatory legs differ. In O. turboe and O. baoyu, the merus of P2–P4 is proportionately longer (Figs. 3A, D, F; 9 A–G) than in O. haliotidis (Fig. 6F, G, I). For the P5, the propodus of O. turboe and O. baoyu (Figs. 3B, H; 9H, I) is distinctly longer than that of O. haliotidis (Fig. 6H, K). The female abdomen is relatively widest in O. turboe (Fig. 2B) compared to those of O. haliotidis (Fig. 5G, H) and O. baoyu (Figs. 8C; 9B). In males, the carapaces do not differ substantially. However, the frontal margin of the male O. turboe (Figs. 1A; 2F) is like that of the female, being distinctly more sinuous than that of O. haliotidis (Fig. 4A). There are no major differences in the structure of the MXP3 between the sexes of the two species (O. turboe and O. haliotidis) in which males and females are known (e.g., Fig. 2B, G). The male chelae of O. turboe and O. haliotidis are also very similar in shape and proportions (Figs. 3I; 6L). For the ambulatory legs, the P5 propodus of O. turboe (Fig. 3M) is proportionately shorter than that of O. haliotidis (Fig. 6D). The male abdomens of the two species also differ, with that of O. turboe (Fig. 2H) being transversely broader than that of O. haliotidis (Fig. 5F). The G1s of O. turboe and O. haliotidis are very similar, but the distal third of O. turboe (Fig. 2I, J) is more gently curved than that of O. haliotidis, which is more distinctly bent (Fig. 5I, K).</p> <p>In any case, their hosts are different: O. turboe has been found only with the top shell Turbo (cf. Sakai, 1969: 277) while O. baoyu and O. haliotidis are from the same species of abalone.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F46A33FF98FFCCFC5529888DE5F7D0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
