Body smooth, shiny; color varying from entirely red or entirely black to reddish, greenish, or yellowish­brown; pubescence lacking above except for few inconspicuous widely spaced erect setae along margins of elytra. Head conical, widest at base, sometimes distinctly elongate in male, sometimes with paired denticles in male, sometimes with pair distinctly raised dorso­basal areas in male; eyes prominent, more or less reniform, sometimes more rounded or oval, varying from not at all protuberant to strongly protuberant. Rostrum arcuate, as long as or longer than head, widened beyond antennal insertions, weakly to moderately punctured, usually with postlabial armature in male. Antennae usually inserted dorso­laterally in the basal portion of the rostrum, sometimes inserted at middle; club usually elongate­compact, sometimes short­compact, subequal to or shorter than the funicle. Pronotum more or less conical, usually widest at base, in dorsal view sides weakly to distinctly rounded outward, usually with small shallow widely spaced punctures and smooth shiny interspaces, sometimes with coarse punctures separated by rugose interspaces, sometimes with pair of pit­like foveae or with unique disk sculpture, sometimes with antero­lateral projections or weak postoccular lobes, sometimes with antero­ventral spine­like “ chest ” denticles in male; anterior collar usually distinct, set off by weak constriction; basal carina narrow, usually widened through middle.

03D11C3AFFBD833C7176437BB67AFCA5.taxon	discussion	Comments. Omolabus spinipectus is recognized by the small size and coarsely punctured pronotum (Figs. 25 – 28). The pronotum in this species also differs from the other species of Omolabus in being widest just before the middle and narrowed at the base. The males exhibit unique sexual dimorphism in the paired denticular projections on the head and “ chest ” area of the pronotum (Figs. 25 & 26). It is closely related to Omolabus (Thyreolabus) piceus (Germar) and Omolabus (Thyreolabus) thoracalis Voss from South America. Host plants. Most of the type specimens are labeled as taken from Dilodendron costaricense (= Dipterodendron costaricense) in the family Sapindaceae.	en	HAMILTON, ROBERT W.

03D11C3AFFBE833B717641A3B5A4FE6D.taxon	discussion	Comments. The species can be recognized by the dark reddish­brown color and hump­like posthumeral protuberances (Figs. 29 – 32). Major and minor males have confused the taxonomy of this species. The single elongate postlabial projection, unique head characters and pronotal sculpture of the major males are diagnostic. The aedeagus, including the TA, of this species is very similar to that of O. ligulatus (compare Figs. 10 & 14) and reveals a close relationship between these two species. I refer to this species and O. ligulatus as “ chin ” weevils due to the distinct singular chin­like postlabial projection (Figs. 29 & 41). Several species from South America also exhibit this chin­like projection. Host plants. Specimens have been taken on Spondias sp. (Anacardiaceae) and G. Vogt specimen labels record this species as feeding on and rolling the leaves of S. mombin (L.). F. Odegaard (personal communication) has observed O. quadratus feeding on leaves of Tapirira guianensis and Spondias mombin (Anacardiaceae) in Panama. The Oedegaard specimens were collected from canopy cranes at 15 – 25 m above ground.	en	HAMILTON, ROBERT W. (2005): Omolabus Jekel in north and central America (Coleoptera: Attelabidae).

03D11C3AFFB983267176406BB6E9FC1D.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species is easily confused with O. corvinus when only females are examined. Major males of O. laesicollis can be easily identified by their irregular midventral rostral ridge (Fig. 33) and the unique postlabial projections. Major and minor males and females of O. laesicollis have confused the taxonomy. The minors are distinctly smaller in size. Sexually dimorphic head and rostral characters present in the major males are poorly developed or indistinct in the minor males. Host plants. Omolabus laesicollis is associated with various Anacardiaceae throughout its range. It is recorded from Spondias purpurea L. and Spondias mombin L. in Costa Rica. This species and O. corvinus have been found rolling the leaves of the same Spondias tree (Vogt, 1992). Vogt also recorded it from S. purpurea, Rhus sp. and Rhus copallina L. in Mexico.	en	HAMILTON, ROBERT W. (2005): Omolabus Jekel in north and central America (Coleoptera: Attelabidae).

Head sparsely punctate; frons concave, usually with some irregular ridges and punctures; eyes reniform, only slightly protruding from surface of head. Rostrum as long as head in male, shorter in female; moderately punctured, robustly enlarged beyond antennal insertions; width at apex two or more times wider than frons; postlabial area with pair of more or less acute downward projecting spine­like processes in male; processes sometimes short and denticle­like in smaller males. Antennae inserted at basal 1 / 3 of rostrum; club short­compact, only ½ as long as funicle, segments subequal in length; funicular segment 1 ovo­globose, subequal to scape; segment 2 clavate, slightly shorter than 1, segment 3 same as 2 but slightly longer; 4 short, about 2 shorter than 2, more robust apically; 5, 6 and 7 moniliform, subequal. Pronotum finely and sparsely punctured, moderately punctured postero­laterally, with pair of foveae on either side of middle; foveae sometimes very weak or indistinct; anterior collar weakly defined, dorsally widened and v­shaped. Scutellum twice as wide as long, 5 ­ sided, posterior margin with wide median angle. Elytra slightly longer than wide, widest at humeri; in dorsal view distinctly narrowed from humeri to apices; transversely depressed behind scutellum; humeri simple, rounded, distinctly protuberant, more so in male; striae distinct basally, becoming much smaller and less distinct posteriorly; intervals weakly convex at base, becoming flat, smooth and wide beyond base. Profemora equally swollen in both sexes, with weak midventral irregular longitudinal ridge; ridge more distinct in male.	en	HAMILTON, ROBERT W.

03D11C3AFF95831D7176437BB64AFD05.taxon	distribution	Distribution (Fig. 5). This is a very widespread species that ranges from the southwestern United States south through Central America to Panama. It is likely that this species also ranges into northern South America. A single female specimen from Brazil appears to be O. corvinus and bears the following data: Brazil, upper Amazon, v­ 1904, JF Zikan (FMNH). Wibmer and O’Brien (1986) list Columbia, South America in the distribution of this species but I have not seen material from there.	en	HAMILTON, ROBERT W.

03D11C3AFF95831D7176437BB64AFD05.taxon	discussion	Comments. Omolabus corvinus is the most abundant species of Omolabus and represents 44 % of the specimens examined in this study. Vogt (1992) states that O. corvinus normally oviposits more than a single egg per nidus and sometimes as many as six in niduses made from the larger leaves of S. mombin. This multioviposition results in more uniform size distribution and, according to Vogt (1992, less differences between the sexes. Small males and females do occur but do not have the degree of size difference that majors and minors have in other species. Adaptation to a number of Anacardiaceae host plants has most likely led to the wide distribution of this species and the multioviposition in single niduses is probably a factor in its abundance. It is recognized by the shiny black body and the pair of rounded pit­like depressions (foveae) on the pronotum (Figs. 45 – 48). The foveae are very weak in some individuals and are indistinct in some smaller specimens. Omolabus laesicollis is also entirely black but it is smaller in size, lacks the pronotal foveae and has much more protuberant eyes. In addition, the male rostrum in O. corvinus has a pair of ventrally projecting more or less acute postlabial prosesses while the major male of O. laesicollis has wide flattened forward projecting postlabial processes that are truncated apically. Host plants. Omolabus corvinus is associated throughout much of its range with Spondias mombin L. and Spondias purpurea L. Some specimens from Costa Rica are recorded from Astronium conzatti (Greenm.) and some from Panama are recorded from Astronium graveolens Jacq. (Anacardiaceae). Other specimens from Mexico and Honduras were taken on Zanthoxylum sp. (Rutaceae). The southwestern United States subpopulation, described by Chittenden (1926) as X. constrictipennis, is recorded from Rhus sp. and Rhus radicans L. = Toxicodendron radicans L., poison ivy (Anacardiaceae). Vogt (1992) associated this species with the following Anacardiaceae along the Pacific slopes of Mexico: Pseudosmodingium perniciosum (H. B. K.) Engl., Amphipterygium adstringens (Schlect.) Schiede, Rhus allophylloides Standley and Astronium graveolens Jacq.; as well as six unknown species of Anacardiaceae found as far south as the state of Chiapas. Nonanacardiaceous host plants listed with specimens from Panama are not true hosts and the specimens were undoubtedly there in random transition when collected. The male genitalia of O. corvinus specimens taken from different locations throughout its range were dissected and compared. The aedeaguses, including sclerotized structures within the endophallic sac, were found to be morphologically consistent. The TA in this species is large and complex (Figs. 13, 22 & 23). It is composed of three major parts: a “ wishbone ” shaped anchor piece (anch pc) on the dorsal wall of the endophallic sac that lies almost entirely beneath the TA in ventral view; an elongate basal piece (basl pc) composed of two thick rod­like structures; and a broad scoop like apical piece (apic pc) bearing a unique hook­like transfer process (trans pr). The anchor piece becomes far removed from the TA when the sac is everted during copulation (Fig. 23) and probably helps to stabilize the position of the TA’s basal and apical pieces within the female genital chamber (Fig. 24). The rod­like structures of the basal piece provide support and a groove along their interfaces for the sperm duct. The sperm duct travels along the groove and enters the TA dorsally at the junction of the basal and apical pieces and ends (i. e., true gonopore) near the base of the transfer process. The shape of the transfer process probably allows it to hook into the opening of the female spermathecal duct thereby enhancing the movement of sperm directly into the duct. Measurements of male and female genitalia indicate that the spacial arrangement is consistent with these probable functions. Specimen data. 1,121 specimens were examined. The sexes and label data are as follows:	en	HAMILTON, ROBERT W. (2005): Omolabus Jekel in north and central America (Coleoptera: Attelabidae).

03D11C3AFF98831B717647D9B4EDFADD.taxon	discussion	Comments. Omolabus longiclava is of questionable status. Sharp’s description does not agree with the type specimen that was examined. The antennae of the female holotype (Figs. 61 – 63) is not unusually long as the original description and name implies. Males are needed in order to determine if Sharp’s description was actually based on a male. However, the size, color and pronotal fovea seem to distinguish the species. It is closely related to O. sedatus but the pronotal fovea distinguish it from that species. Host plants. Host plant association for this species is unknown.	en	HAMILTON, ROBERT W.

03D11C3AFF8783027176437BB580FD8D.taxon	discussion	Comments. This is a distinct species recognized by the shiny reddish­brown color, non­protuberant eyes, smooth pronotum and the dorsal post­humeral protuberances (Figs. 68 – 71). Dorsal posthumeral protuberances also occur in O. callosus and O. quadratus but O. callosus is black in color and O. quadratus is much smaller and has unique pronotal sculpture. The male of O. megalomus is unique in having the profemur armed with a distinct strigate protuberance (Fig. 69). Host plants. The host plant association for this species is unknown.	en	HAMILTON, ROBERT W. (2005): Omolabus Jekel in north and central America (Coleoptera: Attelabidae).

Head with some minute punctures near eyes; frons bisulcate, weakly convex between sulci; vertex weakly convex; eyes reniform, not protuberant, flush with surface of head. Rostrum subequal in length to head, punctured throughout, less punctured dorsally beyond antennal insertions, twice as wide as frons at apex, slightly more than twice as wide in female; postlabial area with pair of short, widely separated, bluntly pointed projections in male. Antennae inserted near basal ¼ of rostrum; club elongate­compact, middle and terminal segments nearly subequal in length, basal segment slightly longer; funicular segment 1 ovo­globose, subequal to scape; 2 shorter than 1, clavate; 3 and 4 subequal, like segment 2 but longer; 5 and 6 subequal to segment 1; 5 slightly shorter; 7 short, moniliform. Pronotum smooth, shiny, with minute shallow punctures; anterior collar weakly defined, dorsally widened and v­shaped. Scutellum slightly wider than long, 5 ­ sided, with some minute punctures. Elytra longer than wide, widest across humeri, in dorsal view narrowed posteriorly, with weak depression behind scutellum; humeri obliquely angled, with small acute denticle; striae small, shallow, forming line­like grooves at base, widely separated within row, becoming progressively less distinct beyond elytral base; intervals at elytral base weakly convex, becoming flat, smooth and much wider posteriorly. Profemora evenly swollen in both sexes.	en	HAMILTON, ROBERT W. (2005): Omolabus Jekel in north and central America (Coleoptera: Attelabidae).
