Omalium chinese J.-K. Li, 1993: 52

Remarks. Omalium chinese was originally described based one the holotype from Heilongjiang, China (“ Holotype female, 1.vi.1992, Heilongjiang, Shangzhi, Laoyeling, soil layer of a Pinus koraiensis forest, Xue-Ping Zhang leg.” (Z.-W. Yin, translation from Chinese)). The original description is very short and based on it, it is very difficult to compare O. chinese with other described species. The description of this species: “Body length 5.2 mm. Body black, antennae, mouthparts, and legs reddish-brown. Anterior margin of clypeus, mouthparts and antennae reddish-brown. Vertex finely punctate and flat. Last segment of maxillary palpus longest. Punctation of pronotum same as that of head; lateral margins with broad reddish-brown band, deflexed, posterior margin slightly emarginate. Elytra with longitudinal row of big punctures; lateral margins, suture and posterior margin reddish-brown, but not distinct. Abdomen finely punctate, glabrous, posterior margin of each segment with microsculpture. Legs reddish-brown; femora thick.” (translation from Chinese by Z.-W. Yin). To clarify the taxonomic status of this species, the study of the holotype is necessary.
