5.2.9. The Scaphisoma elpis View in CoL species group

This group is established for a single Palawan new species, S. elpis, characterized by strongly asymmetrical median lobe with its right side lamellar and strongly sclerotized, and the apical process placed at its left side. The parameres are symmetrical, not lobed and the internal sac is compact, lacking flagellum or sclerotized pieces. The aedeagal characters suggest relationships with the Indian S. diabolum LÖBL, 1986.
