Omophron (Omophron) capense Gory 1833
No full textOmophron (Omophron) capense Gory, 1833: 212 Comments: Widespread species, known from Angola, Botswana, Congo, Mozambique, Namibia, RSA, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Members of different populations in some parts of its range are morphologically distinct. However, the presence of transitional forms in the structure of the apex of the aedeagus, as well as similar structure of the endophallus, prevents us from separating them with certainty into different species. However, it is possible that genetic studies will make it possible to assign a species status to the subspecies described by us. We divide the species into five subspecies across its range (Map. 3).Published as part of Anichtchenko, Alexander & Valainis, Uldis, 2023, Revision of the subgenus Omophron (s. str.)

Omophron (Omophron) capense subsp. kmecoi Anichtchenko & Valainis 2023, ssp. n.
No full textOmophron (Omophron) capense kmecoi ssp. n. Type material. Holotype ♁: Namibia, Kavango, Rundu, Okavango riv., 16– 19.1.1999, 1050m, Rudolf Kmeco leg. [-17.906009, 19.740619] (DUBC). Paratypes: 2 ♀, idem (RKC, MNHN); Namibia, 28.II.–6.III.1994, 18°14’S / 21°43’E, Kavango: Mahango, Game Reserve, leg. U. Göllner [-18.231883, 21.720392] (1 ♀, ZMHB). Differential diagnosis. Members of this subspecies have distinctly elongate elytra, with narrow lateral borders. The sides of the pronotum are almost straight, similar to those in O. capense pumilum ssp. n., while in O. capense s.str. they are slightly rounded. The first tarsomere in males is very strongly expanded, in comparison with those other subspecies (Fig. 97). Aedeagus with wide apex, very slightly curved ventrally, with the sides of the aedeagus evenly narrow towards the apex, without the shape of a “bottleneck”. Description. Body length 4.5–4.7 mm; width 2.9–3.1 mm. Habitus (Fig. 33). Venter (Fig. 37). General taxon characteristics correspond to those given in the description of the nominate subspecies. Distinguishing features are indicated in the differential diagnosis and key. Aedeagus with weakly downturned apex. Apical lamella long, sides of aedeagus taper gradually towards the apex, without shape of a “bottle neck” (Fig. 42). Endophallus is slightly atypical for the species: both groups of spines consist of larger spines, and are located beside each other (Fig. 47). Etymology. New subspecies named after our friend and colleague Rudolf Kmeco (Czechia). Distribution. The new subspecies is known from two nearby localities in northern Namibia (Map. 3).Published as part of Anichtchenko, Alexander & Valainis, Uldis, 2023, Revision of the subgenus Omophron (s. str.)
