Omorgus sp. aff. perhispidus (8mm)
** scutellum hastate
** small species 8mm
** humeral calli present
** pronotal margin evenly rounded.
** fringe of long setae on elytral margin, shortening hindward...pronotal margin setae shorter than the former.
Has affinities with perhispidus such as long setae on the elytral margin. In contrast, the humeral calli is underdeveloped, the frons and clypeus are finely rugose, not punctate. Possibly a variant or potentially a different species
