Specimen examined: Holotype ♂, TANZANIA: Gonja / v.1958 / J. D. Phipps / B. M. 1962­453 (BMNH).

Distribution. Known only from its type locality in Tanzania.

Etymology. Latin, vultus, meaning similarity, referring to this species likeness to O. litoreus .

Remarks. Ommatius vultus is similar to O. litoreus but differs in the 3 unusually long fore coxal bristles, the 2 long ventral bristles on the fore femur (Fig. 28), the flat, peg­like bristles on the hind tibia (Fig. 38), the shape of the hind tibia (Fig. 48), and the combined characters of the terminalia (Figs. 226­228).
