Remarks. Omalus (Chrysellampus) nigromaculatus was synonymised with O. pici (du Buysson) [currently Chrysellampus , described from Smyrne (= Ýzmir)] by Arens (2014). The species is known from East Mediterranean countries: Greece, Rhodos Is., and Turkey ( Arens 2014). Linsenmaier (1959a) keyed and described Omalus (Chrysellampus) pici , but the latter was apparently overlooked by Linsenmaier (1997).
