Remarks.
The species is the largest species in China, with the BL 8.7-14.3 mm. It is extremely similar to Scaphidium perpulchrum Csiki, 1909 from Vietnam and no striking difference is known between them, though an immature male specimen of Scaphidium perpulchrum identified by Löbl has larger elytral fascia and faint coloration of body. The species is also similar to Scaphidium direptum Tang & Li, 2010 and Scaphidium connexum sp. n., but differs from them by the larger body size and bicolored legs, and from Scaphidium connexum also by the subhumeral fascia consisting of two separated yellow dots which are connected in Scaphidium connexum .
