Genus Orthogonis Hermann

( Figs 20–23, 25, 57, 58)

Orthogonis Hermann, 1914: 132 . Type species: Laphria scapularis Wiedemann, 1828 [des. Hull (1962: 330)]. Vein closing the discal cell usually aligned and confluent with the vein closing the fourth posterior cell, or offset by a short distance ( Fig. 23), leaving the lower end vein of the discal cell quite short; rather bare flies of dark blue black coloration and blackish wings; tergal bristles strong ( Hull 1962).

Orthogonis sp. represents the only species of the genus recorded from South Korea. Oldroyd (1972) notes eight to ten Oriental species.
