Diagnosis
Orosius recurvus is one of three species of the genus in which the aedeagal shafts are abruptly narrowed towards the apex. It can be differentiated from both O. lotophagorum and O. ryukyuensis in ventral view by the aedeagal shafts being abruptly incurved near the apex rather than incurved throughout as in the other two species (Fletcher et al. 2016)
