Scelimena boettcheri: Günther 1938a View in CoL , Petersen & Gaedike 1970, Blackith 1992.

Type material examined. 9♂♂ and 4♀♀ SYNTYPES N. Palawan: Binaluan Nov.–Dec. 1913 Leg. G. Boettcher ( DEI) , 1♂ and 2♀♀ SYNTYPES N. Palawan: Binaluan Nov.–Dec. 1913 Leg. G. Boettcher ( MTD). Photographs of

the syntypes are available online at OSF and DORSA webpages. Günther (1938) described species on 18 syntypes, of which two were not found in DEI and MTD.

Type locality: the Philippines: Palawan Islands: Taytay : Binaluan.

Notes. The species is morphologically very close to Scelimena producta and is thus here included in Scelimena producta species group. The main difference is lack of teeth on the ventral margin of the hind femora. It is for now the only Scelimena species reported to inhabit Palawan.
