Remarks

• Systematics: Ortheziolamameti kosztarabi is similar to O. guineensis (see remarks under "systematics" of O. guineensis). O. kosztarabi is also similar to O. loebli but differs by having a large bare area in the ventromedial area of the thorax, 2 or 3 sensory setae on each tibia and the quadrilocular pores absent. O. loebli has a very narrow bare area in the ventromedial area of the thorax, one sensory seta on each tibia and quadrilocular pores predominant (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
• Structure: Unmounted adult female with entire dorsum covered with white, wax protrusions; with 4 distinct mediolateral wax protrusions on each side of body; band on midline of the dorsum with 4 triangular wax protrusions (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
• General Remarks: Original description and illustration by (Kozár & Miller, 2000). Change of combination, redescription and illustration by Kozár (2004).
