Diagnosis

Omorgus persuberosus is similar in appearance to O. suberosus and O. triestinae , but is usually larger than the latter two species. In addition, O. persuberosus have a distinct glabrous area on the inner ventral surface of the mesotibiae, which is either reduced or absent in the other two species ( Figures 5d View Figure 5 and 6d View Figure 6 ).

Geographic distribution

Omorgus persuberosus is widespread across South America ( Vaurie 1955, 1962; Scholtz 1990; Smith 2017). In Brazil is has been recorded across the Amazonia ( AC, PA), Cerrado ( MG, DF, TO, MS, SP, GO), Caatinga (PI), Atlantic Forest ( PB, SP, RJ, MG, ES, PR, SC, RS) and Pampa (RS) biomes ( Figure 10 View Figure 10 ).
