Bullington SW and Lavigne RJ. 1984. Review of the Genus Ommatius Wiedemann (Diptera: Asilidae) in Eastern United States with Descriptions of Five New Species. Annals of the Entomological Society of America. 77:378-392
ABSTRACT: The number of described species of Ommatius Wiedernann for continental eastern North America is increased to a total of seven. Ommatius tibialis Say and O. gemma Brimley are redescribed, and a neotype is designated for the former. The new species described are O. floridensis, O. wilcoxi, O. ouachitensis, O. oklahomensis. and O. texanus. All five species superficially resemble O. tibialis, but can be separated on the basis of genitalic characters. A key is presented which separates the seven species.
