Unknown.</p><p>Diagnosis. Omorgus (O.) khandesh Strümpher &amp; Kalawate, new species and O. (O.) rimulosus (Haaf, 1957), are morphologically very similar, but the former can be distinguished from the latter in having the tubercles on the even numbered costae close together, smaller, and not as highly elevated (Figs. 3–4). Omorgus (O.) rimulosus (Haaf, 1957) have these tubercles considerably larger, widely spaced along elytral length and more raised (Figs. 7– 8). The male genitalia of the two species are distinctive with the most important differences found on the phalluses, parameres, and phallobases as described in the text (and as shown in Figs. 11–13 versus Figs. 14–16; see also Table 1). Both O. (O.) khandesh Strümpher &amp; Kalawate, new species and O. (O.) rimulosus (Haaf, 1957) have an external appearance similar to O. (O.) maissouri (Haaf 1954) (Figs. 28–29, 31), but both can be distinguished from the latter by the appearance of the pronotum and elytra and the distinctive male genitalia.</p><p>Distribution. Known only from Western India.</p><p>Etymology. The species name is a noun in apposition referring to the Khandesh Region where the holotype was collected.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/14216F6BFF9FA134FF2DFBEE9755C287	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

While examining species belonging to the subgenus Afromorgus it became apparent that the inclusion of O. (A.) inclusus (Walker, 1858) in the subgenus Afromorgus should be reconsidered. The males of the species have the phallobasis clearly divided and membranous dorsally which correspond with the diagnostic features of subgenus Omorgus (sensu Scholtz 1986b). Therefore, we propose a new subgenus placement for O. (O.) inclusus (Walker, 1858), here by transferring it to the subgenus Omorgus .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/14216F6BFF94A13AFF2DFA2A95AFC072	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
