Omosita
Omosita is a genus of sap beetles (family Nitidulidae) erected in 1843. The genus comprises five described species distributed across the Holarctic and introduced regions. Omosita species are notable for their association with stored products and carrion, with documented forensic significance due to their presence on human remains. Larvae have been recovered from decomposing human bone and successfully analyzed for human mitochondrial DNA.
