Scaphisoma Leach, 1815 View in CoL

Scaphisoma comprises 722 species, and is the most species-rich genus of the subfamily Scaphidiinae . Six of these species are known from Sulawesi. While one is widely distributed ( S. obliquemaculatum Motschulsky, 1863 ) and has been reported from Sulawesi by LÖBL (1997), five are possibly endemic to the island. An additional eight species are present in the studied collections, one of them is left unidentified because it is represented in collections by a single female.
