5.2.14. The Scaphisoma pictum View in CoL species group

Members of the group share with the Palaearctic S. assimile Erichson, 1845 and its allied species a bilobed apical process of the median lobe, but usually differ drastically by the broadly lobed parameres. The elytra, unlike those in members of the S. assimile group, lack basal striae ( LÖBL 1971b: 962). Scaphisoma cuyunon, S. hexameroides and S. iridescens which have basally broadened but not lobed parameres are tentatively placed in this group.
