Genus Ommatoiulus Latzel, 1884

Remarks.

Ageneral characterisation of Ommatoiulus was given by Akkari and Enghoff (2012). Delimitation of Ommatoiulus vis-à-vis related nominal genera such as Tachypodoiulus Verhoeff, 1893 and Rossiulus Attems, 1926 is not very clear at present and will probably remain so until the ongoing comprehensive revision of Schizophyllini has been completed (see Akkari and Enghoff 2012).

Of the ca. 70 species of Ommatoiulus currently recognized, the following occur in Tunisia:

Ommatoiulus chambiensis Akkari & Enghoff, sp. n.

Ommatoiulus crassinigripes Akkari & Enghoff, sp. n.

Ommatoiulus fuscounilineatus (Lucas, 1846)

Ommatoiulus kefi Akkari & Enghoff, sp. n.

Ommatoiulus khroumiriensis Akkari & Enghoff, sp. n.

Ommatoiulus malleatus Akkari & Voigtländer, 2007

Ommatoiulus punicus ( Brölemann, 1894)

Ommatoiulus sempervirilis Akkari & Enghoff, 2011

Ommatoiulus seurati (Brolemann, 1925)

Ommatoiulus xenos Akkari & Enghoff, sp. n.

Ommatoiulus xerophilus Akkari & Enghoff, sp. n.

Ommatoiulus zaghouani Akkari & Enghoff, sp. n.
