Popis: Omophron (Omophron) capense Gory, 1833: 212 Comments: Widespread species, known from Angola, Botswana, Congo, Mozambique, Namibia, RSA, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Members of different populations in some parts of its range are morphologically distinct. However, the presence of transitional forms in the structure of the apex of the aedeagus, as well as similar structure of the endophallus, prevents us from separating them with certainty into different species. However, it is possible that genetic studies will make it possible to assign a species status to the subspecies described by us. We divide the species into five subspecies across its range (Map. 3).
