Remarks

• Systematics: Koteja & Zak-Ogaza (1988) state that "Menge says that Ochyrocoris electrina is closely related to Orthezia, but he does not mention why a new genus has been established, i.e., what characters make the fossil form different from "dorthesia", which was also present in Menge's amber collection." The whereabouts of Menge's collection is unknown.
