Scelimena producta View in CoL species group

Eugavialidium: Hancock 1907a View in CoL , Kirby 1910, Hancock 1915, Tinkham 1936, Günther 1938a.

Type species: Tetrix (Scelimena) producta Serville, 1838 (= Scelimena producta producta ).

Composition and distribution. The group included four species and one subspecies, inhabiting the Philippines: Palawan ( S. boettcheri ), Borneo ( S. dentiumeris ), Sumatra ( S. producta ), Java ( S. producta producta ), East Sumba ( S. producta dammermani ), and Sulawesi ( S. celebica ).

Notes. The group is close to the NW Scelimena discalis species group, as well as to eastern Scelimena novaeguineae species group. The group is characterized by small pronotal projections, presence of small or medium sized metalateral tubercles, large ventrolateral spine, usually directed forwards, and large body size. S. dentiumeris which is probably very close in morphology to S. producta , served as the type species of the genus Eugavialidium in the past. Taxonomy of this genus was not clear, so Günther (1938) synonymized the genus with Scelimena . We fully agree with synonymization of Eugavialidium and Scelimena .
