Herein, the type specimens are reexamined with newly collected samples of currently known <i>Orphnaecus</i> species, including new specimens from Romblon Island, Philippines. Morphological and molecular analyses were performed, utilizing cytochrome oxidase I (COI) and ribosomal genes (12S-tRNA-Val-16S). Synapomorphies in the structure of maxillary lyra, spermathecae, and male palpal morphology were observed in <i>O.philippinus</i> and the Romblon specimen which are distinct from other <i>Orphnaecus</i> species. In addition, lyrate morphology, setae structure on the patella of palp dorsal, and the male palpal organ morphology of <i>O.dichromatus</i> differ from other <i>Orphnaecus</i> species.
