Antennae with antennomeres I to VI dark brown to blackish, antennomeres II to VI with lighter apices, antennomeres VII to XI black. Femora black with reddish fascia on mesofemur and metafemur. Tibiae black. Tarsi brown or rufous. Frons flat, at narrowest point 0.35–0.39 mm wide, usually impunctate on small posterior area, punctation on prevailing surface not confluent, punctures on anterior area dense and partially elongate, on posterior area not elongate and sparse. Eyes large, eye width in dorsal view about 1.7 to 2.2 times as frons at narrowest point. Vertex distinctly punctate, with strigulate microsculpture. Punctation on clypeus finer and sparser than that on anterior part of frons. Pronotum raising above elytra, with lateral contours weakly sinuate, antebasal puncture row impressed, disc densely punctate, punctures round, smaller than puncture intervals; anterior margin straight in dorsal view, anterior margin stria with uninterrupted punctures row. Elytron with low humeral hump, disc in middle nearly horizontal, moderately inflexed and not impressed apicad; punctation posterior of humeral humps, on most of lateral areas and near apex slightly coarser than on pronotum, on most of inner discal surface finer than on pronotum; one or two discal rows of slightly larger punctures rather inconspicuous, sometimes hardly distinct; subbasal stria gradually impressed laterad, with coarse puncture similar to or larger than punctures of pronotal antebasal row; sutural stria finely punctate, adsutural area entirely raised and roof-like, or flattened near base. Prosternum with strigulate microsculpture, anterior and anterolateral margins of prosternum with coarse, almost confluent, not elongate punctures. Hypomeron smooth. Mesanepisternum and lateral parts of metaventrite extremely finely and very sparsely punctate, lacking microsculpture or with hardly visible strigulate microsculpture (magnification 100×) apicolateral areas of metaventrite. Mesanepisternum with anterior bead evenly narrow, delimited by stria nearly reaching posterior margin. Metaventrite impressed on apicomedian area. Ventrites with densely reticulate microsculpture. Ventrite I distinctly punctate on basomedian area, with few distinct punctures scattered on lateral areas. Ventrites II to IV with elongate basal striae evanescent on median areas, very finely and sparsely punctate.</p><p>Male. Profemur with ventral side flattened and bearing two or three irregular rows of tubercles. Protibia shorter than mesotibia, usually about as long as profemur, weakly curved, slightly, gradually thickened apicad, near apex about 1.2 times as broad as at base, with inner side bearing rows of tubercles; inner side of apex with short elongate ridge. Metaventral setal patch covering nearly entire mesal area of metaventrite, setae light brown, semierect, long. Aedeagus (Figs 1, 6) 2.23–2.56 mm (in holotype 2.42 mm) long.</p><p>Distribution. Borneo: Sarawak and Kalimantan (revised data).</p><p>Remarks. Scaphidium grande has a unique shape of aedeagus. The median lobe is abruptly narrowing at the level of the bases of the dorsal valves, and the lateral margins of the valves are parallel. The median lobe is gradually narrowing apicad from the level of the bases of the dorsal valves, and the lateral margins of the valves are converging in all species described by TANG &amp; LI (2010) and TANG et al. (2016), in the Chinese specimens illustrated and identified as S. grande by TANG &amp; LI (2010) and TANG et al. (2014) and in examined specimens from Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and China.</p><p>ACHARD (1924) assigned S. grande to Scaphidiolum Achard, 1922, a name placed in synonymy of Scaphidium by LESCHEN &amp; LÖBL (1995). The three varieties of S. grande, var. subannulatum, var. inimpressum, and var. melanopus, have been listed as invalid synonyms (LÖBL 1992, 2018). The synonymy of only one of them, subannulatum, is here confirmed (it has the reddish fasciae of the femora darker and narrower than usually), while the other two are resurrected as valid species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/D47E151179410F74FEC7F9A6FE8BF835	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species is in external characters similar with S. grande, S. inimpressum and S. dureli . The body length and width of S. melanopus is about that of S. inimpressum (length 5.3–6.0 mm, width 3.7–4.0 mm). The species may be distinguished by the combination of the following characters: Antennal club entirely black. Frons flat or slightly impressed anteriad, with punctures not elongate, dense on posterior area. Elytron lacking distinct humeral hump, discal punctation sparse and nearly evenly fine on anterior two thirds of disc, somewhat coarser and denser near apex, discal puncture rows absent, disc slightly impressed near apex, punctures in subbasal stria very dense, larger than punctures of pronotal antebasal row, anterior third of adsutural area flat. Prosternum lacking strigulate microsculpture. Lateral parts of metaventrite lacking microsculpture. Mesanepisternum with anterior bead widening laterad. Ventrite I rather evenly and finely punctate. Lateral parts of ventrites II to IV with hardly visible elongate striae. Male profemur with ventral side rounded, bearing two irregular rows of minute tubercles. Male protibia rather long and strongly curved, somewhat sinuate, weakly thicken apicad, near apex about 1.1–1.2 times as broad as at base, distinctly tuberculate, lacking apical ridge or denticle but with acute inner apical angle. Aedeagus (Figs 3, 8) 1.85–1.95 mm long, with fold-like structures on each side of median lobe, below dorsal valves.</p><p>Remarks. As only male characters provide reliable means to distinguish most species of the S. grande group, the female paralectotype cannot be assigned to the same species as the lectotype, nor to any other described species. The lectotype is a teneral specimen with legs, antennomeres I to VI and most of abdomen evenly brown. Thus, the mesofemora and metafemora of the lectotype lack reddish fasciae, while these are distinct in the other specimens examined. The lateral fold-like structures of the median lobe are unique for this species. Scaphidium andrewesi from South India is another member of the S. grande group that exhibits femora with color variation. It may be readily distinguished from S. melanopus by the brown antennomeres XI and the short, weakly curved male protibiae bearing a subapical denticle.</p><p>Distribution. Northeast India, Nepal, Myanmar (revised data).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/D47E151179420F75FC8DF880FF1EF8A5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body length 5.50–6.75 mm, width 4.60–5.60 mm. Body black, with brown abdominal apex. Antennae black, with apices of antennomeres II to VI dark brown and apical third of XI dark brown. Pro- and mesofemora entirely black, metafemora black with narrow reddish fasciae. Tibiae black. Tarsi dark brown. Frons flat between eyes, at narrowest point 0.30–0.34 mm wide; impunctate on small posterior area, punctation anterior to smooth area dense and fine, consisting of round, not confluent punctures, punctation posterior to smooth area coarser and very dense, partially confluent. Eyes large, eye width in dorsal view about 2 times as wide as frons at narrowest point.Vertex distinctly punctate, with strigulate microsculpture. Punctation on clypeus finer and sparser than on anterior part of frons. Pronotum raising above elytra, with lateral contours weakly sinuate, antebasal puncture row impressed, disc densely punctate, punctures round, smaller than puncture intervals; anterior margin weakly concave, anterior margin stria with puncture row interrupted in middle. Elytron with humeral hump hardly developed, disc in middle weakly convex, moderately inflexed and not impressed apicad; punctation fine on anterior third to half of disc and along lateral margin up to apical fourth, similar to pronotal punctation, becoming coarse and dense apicad, on most of apical half much coarser than on pronotum; two or three discal rows of slightly larger punctures rather inconspicuous, sometimes hardly distinct; basal stria gradually impressed laterad, with coarse puncture larger than punctures of pronotal antebasal row; sutural stria rather coarsely punctate, adsutural area entirely raised and roof-like. Prosternum lacking microsculpture, anterior and anterolateral margins of prosternum with coarse, almost confluent, not elongate punctures. Hypomeron, and mesanepisternum with very fine but distinct, scattered punctures. Mesanepisternum with anterior beads narrow, not widening laterad, ending near posterior margin. Lateral parts of metaventrite finely and sparsely punctate, lacking microsculpture. Median area of metaventrite impressed. Ventrites with dense, reticulate microsculpture. Ventrite I rather coarsely and densely punctate, with punctures about as large as coarser punctures on elytral disc. Ventrites II to IV with elongate basal striae evanescent on mesal areas, and with very fine, hardly visible punctation.</p><p>Male. Profemur with ventral side flattened, bearing three rows of tubercles. Protibia shorter than mesotibia and slightly shorter than profemur, arcuate in lateral view, in basal three quarters evenly thick, slightly widening apically, near apex about 1.1 times as broad as at base (lateral view), with underside bearing rows of tubercles; lacking apical ridge or denticle. Metaventral setal patch covering nearly entire mesal area of metaventrite, setae light brown, recumbent, moderately long. Aedeagus (Figs 4, 9) 2.05–2.16 mm long.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. The species may be easily distinguished from other members of the S. grande group by the metafemora only having a reddish fascia, while the mesofemora are entirely black. It may be also distinguished from S. grande by distinctly punctate hypomera, mesanepisterna and lateral parts of metaventrite, ventrite I rather coarsely and densely punctate, and the male protibia lacking apical or subapical denticle or ridge. The shape of the aedeagus, with the median lobe gradually narrowing from the level of the dorsal valves, the broadly truncate upper dorsal edge of the apex, the internal sac with a trapeziform median sclerite extended basolaterally by narrow branches, and the form of the paired subbasal sclerites are diagnostic. The shape of the aedeagus and the internal sac with two small oblique subbasal sclerites are similar with those of S. reni Tang &amp; Li, 2010, while the weakly sclerotized and nearly straight basolateral stripes in the internal sac of S. metafasciatum are distinctive.</p><p>Etymology. The species epithet is a Latin adjective meaning fasciate posteriorly.</p><p>Distribution.

Antennae with antennomeres I to VI dark brown, apices of antennomeres II to VI lighter, antennomeres VII to XI black. Femora black, meso- and metafemora with reddish fascia. Tibiae black. Tarsi brown or rufous. Frons flat, at narrowest point 0.34–0.36 mm wide, entirely punctate, or impunctate on narrow area in level with posterior eye margins; punctation not confluent and not elongate. Eyes large, eye width in dorsal view about 1.7 to 2.2 times as large as narrowest point of frons. Vertex distinctly punctate, with strigulate microsculpture. Punctation on clypeus finer and sparser that that on anterior part of frons. Pronotum raising above elytra, with lateral contours weakly sinuate, anterior margin straight in dorsal view, anterior margin stria with uninterrupted punctures row; antebasal puncture row impressed; disc densely punctate, punctures round, smaller than puncture intervals, area between antebasal puncture row and basal margin impunctate. Elytron with humeral hump hardly developed, disc in middle weakly convex, moderately inflexed and slightly impressed apicad; punctation on most of disc fine and sparse, finer and sparser than pronotal punctation, becoming coarse and dense near apex, on apical seventh nearly as pronotal punctation; disc with one to three inconspicuous rows of slightly larger punctures; basal stria gradually impressed laterad, with coarse punctures about as large as punctures in pronotal antebasal row; sutural stria rather coarsely punctate, adsutural area entirely raised and roof-like. Prosternum lacking microsculpture, anterior prosternal margin with coarse, almost confluent, not elongate punctures, anterolateral margins with a few impressions. Hypomeron smooth. Mesanepisternum and lateral parts of metaventrite extremely finely and very sparsely punctate, lacking microsculpture. Mesanepisternum with anterior bead widening laterad, delimited by stria not reaching posterior margin. Metaventrite impressed on apicomedian area. Ventrites with densely reticulate microsculpture. Ventrite I distinctly punctate on basomedian area and with a few distinct punctures scattered on lateral areas. Ventrites II to IV with elongate basal striae evanescent on median areas, each with four macrosetae, very finely and sparsely punctate.</p><p>Male. Profemur with ventral side flattened, bearing two rows of tubercles. Protibia much shorter than mesotibia and shorter than profemur, weekly arcuate in lateral view, throughout evenly thick, bearing rows of tubercles at inner side, angulate near apex. Metaventral setal patch covering nearly entire mesal area of metaventrite, setae light brown, recumbent, moderately long. Aedeagus (Figs 5, 10) 2.08–2.14 mm long.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. This new species is similar to S. grande . It may be distinguished by its smaller body size, finer elytral punctation, and the anterior bead of the mesanepiternum widening laterad, in addition to the distinctive aedeagal characters. The comparatively narrow body resembles that of S. longum Tang &amp; Li, 2010, while the male protibiae of S. grandior sp. nov. are significantly shorter than those in the latter species. The structures of the internal sac of S. grandior sp. nov., with acute basolateral angles of the trapezoid sclerite in combination with a single saucer-shaped subbasal sclerite and incurved basolateral stripes, are unique.</p><p>Etymology. The species epithet grandior is the comparative degree of the Latin adjective grandis, which means great, grown up or powerful.</p><p>Distribution.
