Omorgus suberosus (Fabricius, 1775) View in CoL

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: TEXAS; BRAZIL: TOCANTINS. Omorgus suberosus is an abundant, generalist species, ubiquitous throughout the New World (Vaurie, 1962), and adventive and widespread in Australasia, Oceania and the Oriental Region ( Cartwright & Gordon, 1971; Miquel, 2019; Scholtz, 1986b). Specimens were collected in two Texan caves, in one of the caves on bat guano ( Kohls and Jellison, 1948). Slay et al. (2012: 196) considered these to be “ accidental collections. ” Muñiz Vélez (2001) reported fragments of several Omorgus suberosus individuals from an archaeological site inside a Mexican cave, while Costa-Silva et al. (2021) reported a specimen, bearing a label with the locality ‘Casa de Pedra Cave,’ in central Brazil, but without ecobiological remarks. We consider these also to be incidental occurrences.
