Taxonomic remark The genus Pseudorchomene can be separated morphologically from other ‘orchomenids’ by the triangular or adz-shaped coxa 1, this character state being considered as a putative synapomorphy. The genus now includes the following five species: P. coatsi, P. debroyeri D'Udekem d'Acoz & Havermans, 2012, P. lophorachis D'Udekem d'Acoz & Havermans, 2012, P. plebs (Hurley, 1965) and P. rossi (Walker, 1903). The first three species which are described fully and illustrated in D'Udekem d'Acoz & Havermans (2012), have an elongate gnathopod 1, whilst the other two species have a stocky gnathopod 1, and have been described in detail by Hurley (1965a, 1965b).
