Genus Scelimena Serville, 1838 View in CoL

The genus Scelimena is one of the most diverse genera found in Southeast Asia. This genus, currently consisting of 23 species, is distributed in the Oriental region (including countries like China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam) ( Cigliano et al., 2018). Little is known about biology and ecology of this genus, except for its importance as an indicator of environment quality ( Mahmood et al., 2007; Zha et al., 2017). Members of the genus are relatively large; they are good flyers, swimmers and divers and can survive in semiaquatic environment. Lamellated hind tibia and the first segment of hind tarsus are modifications enabling swimming ( Kirby, 1914; Mahmood et al., 2007; Zha et al., 2017).
