- NOTE: Having described this species (and others) in genus Trox subgenus Omorgus, Scholtz (1986: 1 fn) added as a postscript that 'in a recent paper (Scholtz 1986) the subgenus Omorgus Erichson was elevated to genus. Consequently, all native Australasian species belong to Omorgus'. I therefore consider that the correct original combination is with Omorgus, not Trox.
