Redescription
Scientific Name Notes O. forte is a valid species, but incertae sedis with respect to Orygmatobothrium. It appears this paper was published twice. Once, as a separate article in 1924 and again in 1925 along with the other papers in Volume 64. Thus, 1924 is the correct date for this name.
