Genus
Omicron
de Saussure
This is moderately sized genus, with more than 50 described species, most of which are South
American. Just one species has been previously described from the Antilles,
O. lacerum
Giordani Soika
from
Santo Domingo
(
Giordani Soika 1978
). We have seen the
holotype
of
O. lacerum
in the MNHN, and it has metasomal terga I�II strongly punctate, whereas the new species has these terga smooth.
