Several mistakes in the species assigned to the genus Orthotheres are discussed. Pinnotheres barbatus Desbonne, 1867, and Fabia unguifalcula Glassell, 1936, are included within Orthoheres. and O. rathbunae Schmitt, 1973, is reassigned to Pinnotheres. The generic status of P. laevis Burger, 1895, and P. longipes Burger, 1895, is analyzed and these species are retained to Pinnotheres. A complete diagnosis of the genus Orthotheres is given.
