Tagaloscelimena aurivillii (Bolívar, 1887)

Gavialidium aurivillii: Bolívar 1887, París 1994.

Eugavialidium aurivillii: Hancock 1907a, Kirby 1910, Bruner 1915.

Tagaloscelimena aurivillii: Günther 1938a, 1955, París 1994.

Type material examined. 1♀ SYNTYPE Ins. Philipp. Leg. Semper (NHRS). Photographs of the syntype are available online in OSF. París (1994) reported one more syntype (male) to be deposited in Vienna (with data Philipinen, Thorey), but this male was not examined in the study.

Type locality: The Philippines (without exact locality).

Notes. The species resembles Scelimena species, however it has weaker FL2 (present as denticles) and other pronotal projections are reduced. Prozona is wide and pronotum is robust. Hind tibiae and proximal segment of the hind tarsi are slightly widened. Günther (1938) reported numerous specimens of the species from the Philippines with exact locality data: Luzon (Limay, Isarog Mt., Pagsanjan), Masbate (Aroroy). Furthermore, Günther (1938) reported that specimens from Pagsanjan and Aroroy are much smaller in size than other specimens examined.
