Comments. Scaphisoma obliquemaculatum was redescribed in LÖBL (1971). In absence of distinctive characters, I place Pseudoscaphosoma atrithorax Pic in synonymy with this widely distributed species. The MNHN houses five additional females identified by Pic as P. atrithorax . They come from Sumatra, Fort de Kock (present Bukittinggi), and were collected in 1926 by E. Jacobson. They are mounted on a single pin and bear a subsequently given red ‘TYPE’ label.
