Distribution:

 

This species is known only from the holotype female described from Ecuador.

 
 

 

   
 

Taxonomy:

 

Grossi, P.C. 2011. Review of Incadorcus Arnaud & Bomans with the description of three new species from the Yungas of Peru and Bolivia (Coleoptera: Lucanidae: Lucaninae) Zootaxa 2750: 1–14.

 
 
 

Jimenez-Asua L. & Martínez, A. 1963. Notas sobre Lucanidae sudamericanos (Ins., Coleoptera). Ciencia 22(3): 45-48.

 
 

 

 

Remarks:

 

Jimenez-Asua and Martínez (1963) described what they believed to be the male of this species, but what is actually an unknown species from Bolivia very close to Pseudoscortizus incredibilis Arnaud et al. That specimen is apparently located in a defunct private collection in Cuba. All three species are probably congeneric. The Ecuadorean O. rufolineatus differs from either species in having the reddish stripes of the elytra removed from the elyral margin.
