Omorgus (Omorgus) maissouri (Haaf, 1954a)

(Figs. 28–31)

Trox inclusus ssp. maissouri Haaf, 1954a: 384 (original description).

Omorgus inclusus ssp. maissouri: Zidek (2013): 12 (checklist).

Omorgus (Afromorgus) inclusus maissouri: Zidek (2017): 103 (checklist).

Afromorgus maissouri: Pittino (2006): 27 (new combination).

Type locality: “ Maïssour [= Mysuru], Shimoga [= Shivamogga District, India]”.

Type depository. Holotype (male) at MNHN; paratypes could not be traced.

Distribution: India (Karnataka, Odisha), Myanmar (formerly Burma) (Haaf 1954a; Schoolmeesters 2022).

Comments: Omorgus (A.) maissouri (Haaf, 1954a) was previously classified in the subgenus Afromorgus. We recently examined its holotype and found that it belongs to the nominotypical subgenus Omorgus. The male of O. (O.) maissouri, have the phallobasis clearly divided and membranous dorsally which correspond with the diagnostic features of nominotypical subgenus (sensu Scholtz 1986b) and is here by reassigned to the subgenus Omorgus.
