Abstract: The Kalimantan species of Scaphisoma Leach, 1815 are reviewed. The following
species are redescribed: S. borneense Pic, 1916, S. lineatopunctatum (Pic,
1916), S. punctatipenne Pic, 1916, S. punctatum (Pic, 1915) and S. submaculatum
Pic, 1920. Lectotypes are designated for these species, and for S. oblongum
Pic, 1916. Scaphisoma punctatipenne, described as a variety of S. oblongum, is
available and raised to species rank. Scaphisoma atrithorax Pic, 1916 is placed
in synonymy with Scaphisoma obliquemaculatum Motschulsky 1863. Two new species
are described: S. apparatum sp. nov. and S. tarsale sp. nov. A key to the
Kalimantan species of Scaphisoma is provided.
