Distribution.

China (Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi).

Remarks.

These are new records to Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Yunnan. The pattern of the fasciae in this species is rather invariable though it is distinctly bold in the specimen from Yunnan (Fig. 37). The species is similar to Scaphidium robustum sp. n., for differences see remarks below.
