Distribution Species of the genus ''Omalonyx'' occur in the Caribbean Islands, and they are also amply distributed throughout South America. Species Species within the genus ''Omalonyx'' include: * '' Omalonyx brasiliensis'' (Simroth, 1896) * '' Omalonyx convexus'' (Heynemann, 1868) * '' Omalonyx matheronii'' (Potiez & Michaud, 1835) or '' Omalonyx matheroni'' (Potiez & Michaud, 1838)Robinson D.
