Description: Habitus and coloring as in Fig. 9 View Figures 8–10 . Head subquadrate. Antennae with penultimate segment somewhat elongate. Mesotibia slender. Forebody surface with fine, setose punctation, shiny; abdomen matter than forebody. Pubescence of body surface short, decumbent, without conspicuous macrosetae. Body black-brown except for yellow-brown posterior fourth of elytra, light brown tip of abdomen, medium brown maxillary palps with darker penultimate segment, and yellow-brown legs with darker brown femora gradually lighter towards distal ends; antennae with scapus medium brown, from blackish pedicellus gradually lighter towards segment 6, segments 7 – 11 yellow-brown. Total body length 3.4 – 3.7 mm; forebody length 2.0 – 2.1 mm.
Male: Abdominal sternite VII with emargination in median third of posterior twelfth with wide, triangularly concave median lobe, appearing like three small, close, triangular incisions ( Fig. 126 View Figures 119–133 ). Emargination in posterior fifth of abdominal sternite VIII wide, triangular, somewhat convex in middle; disc of sternite VIII in posterior two-thirds with wide, light, shallow, spaciously setose depression divided in two lateral portions by darker, somewhat raised, longitudinal midline ( Fig. 127 View Figures 119–133 ). Aedeagus ( Figs 34 View Figures 27–34 , 71 – 73 View Figures 68–73 ) about 0.9 mm long with asymmetrical distal lobes; apical lobes, in lateral view, broad with triangular, dorsad curved ends ( Figs 34 View Figures 27–34 , 71 View Figures 68–73 ), in ventral view rhomboid in distal portion with small, ventroproximad pointing ends and gradually widened ventrolaterad in proximal portion ( Figs 72, 73 View Figures 68–73 ); ventral margin of dextral apical lobe with proximad pointing tooth with lobate apex ( Fig. 71 View Figures 68–73 : arrow IV); dorsal lobe weakly sclerotized, triangular distally ( Figs 72, 73 View Figures 68–73 : arrows V, VI); flagellum long, notably projecting from apical lobes dorsally in basal portion, then semicircularly curved ventroproximad ( Figs 34 View Figures 27–34 , 71 View Figures 68–73 ) and continued in dextrodistad curved apical portion ( Fig. 72 View Figures 68–73 ); ventral lobe strongly projecting, subrectangularly widened ventrally, with acute, ventroproximal end ( Fig. 71 View Figures 68–73 ); setose lateral lobes absent; median foramen wide, elongate, limited by triangularly distad bent, transverse ridge ( Fig. 72 View Figures 68–73 ).
Female: Bursal duct about three times as long as sperm pump, membranous in proximal half; bursa membranous ( Fig. 155, 156 View Figures 155–162 ).
Phylogeny: Scopaeus posoanus is to be classified in the S. gracilis species group ( Frisch et al. 2002: 39).
Distribution: Scopaeus posoanus is known only from the vicinity of Lake Poso, Sulawesi Tengah.
Etymology: The epithet posoanus (adjective, Latin, derived from the noun Poso, with suffix – anus, which indicates the geographical affiliation) refers to the type localities of the new species at Lake Poso, Sulawesi.
