Dollfusella minutissima China, 1938: 257 . Holotype: ♂, Saudi Arabia, Sanafir Island; MNHN (synonymized by Poisson & Poisson 1943: 123).

Material examined: EGYPT: 50 km N. of M. Alam, leg. Linnavuori, 1 ex.; Rotes Meer, Gubal strait, winter 1961/1962, 1 ♀; “ Omania coleoptrata ” 1 ex. [no further information]; (all in RMNH) .

Diagnosis: Body length of male (1.28–1.38), female (1.44–1.48). This taxon can be distinguished from the species of Corallocoris by the following characteristics: the body surface is uniformly black (Fig. 8A–B); a collumlike area of the head is demarcated from the vertex by a line that makes a sharp triangular incision anteromedially; the forewing lacks claval and R+M sutures (Fig. 8A–B); the grasping structure of the male is simple; the ponticulus basalis of the phallus has a dorsal bridge-like projection (see Cobben 1970).

Habitat. Omania coleoptrata was found in rock crevices below the high tide level of the intertidal zone (China 1938), and in one instance was found living with a species of Ptiliidae (Coleoptera) and Halophiloscia sp. (Crustacea: Isopoda) in the same rock pieces (Schuster 1965).

Distribution: Egypt (African Egypt, Sinai Peninsula); Oman (Muscat); Pakistan (the coast of Pakistan); and Saudi Arabia (Sanafir Island) (Fig. 9A, Table 3).
