Abstract

We summarize our knowledge about the Cleridae (Coleoptera: Cleroidea) of Oman. Based on literature references, museum specimens, and newly collected material, we present distribution maps of all species known from the Arabian Peninsula, focusing on Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. A new species, Opilo acaciensis Gerstmeier n. sp. is described, and two species were added to the Cleridae fauna of Oman. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:FB82CFDC-7372-4143-9265-D927B21F00B1.
