Abstract

A supplement to the recent revision of Omadius Laporte 1836 (Mawdsley 2006) is presented. Ten species are treated: Omadius radulifer Gorham 1876 species reinstated is removed from synonymy with O. obscuripennis (Gorham 1876); O. scapularis (Gorham 1876) new combination is transferred from Stigmatium Gray 1832; O. chapaensis Pic 1927, O. curticollis Pic 1933, O. diversipes Pic 1933, O. nigrohumeralis Pic 1926, O. paulonotatus Pic 1946 and O. rufithorax Pic 1933 are confirmed as belonging to Omadius; and O. alishanus Nakane 1996 (missed by Mawdsley) plus the recently described O. santo Gerstmeier & Schmidl 2007 are also added. All ten species are re-described and integrated into Mawdsley’s key. The biogeographic situation and the biodiversity of Omadius in the Indo-Australian region are briefly discussed.
