Systematics: Ortheziola britannica is very similar to O. vejdovskyi by having segmentally arranged spine plates on the abdomen, one band of spines in the ovisac band, four pairs of abdominal spiracles and reduced distribution of ventral spines. O. britannica differs by having wax plate 3 divided medially, small remnant of wax plate 19 present near body margin, apical antennal segment 267-309 (288) um long, sclerotized plate width 249-272 (260) um. O. vejdovskyi has wax plate 3 continuous across median, not divided medially; no remnant of wax plate 19 present near body margin; apical antennal segment 309-346 (327) um long; sclerotized plate width 269-291 (282) um long (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
Biology: Specimens were collected from crevices of bark and moss (Kozár, 2004).
