B061879F9F1BFFD033FFFE27FC78FE2D.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis: The key given below provides means to distinguish this new species from its Taiwanese congeners. The aedeagal characters suggest relationships with S. sunadai HOSHINA & SUGAYA, 2003 from the Ryukyus, S. glabra LÖBL, 2018 from Yunnan, and S. gracilis LÖBL, 1981 and S. variabilis LÖBL, 1981 from Japan. Scaphobaeocera sunadai may be readily distinguished from S. furva by the parameres gradually widened apically, the apical process of the median lobe strongly inflexed, near apex almost perpendicular to the axis of aedeagus (lateral view) and the flagellum forming a single complete loop. The apical process of the median lobe is much shorter and has blunt apex in S. glabra. This species differs in external characters drastically by its strongly elongate antennomeres XI. The S. gracilis and S. variabilis described from Japan have the pronotum and elytra microsculptured and iridescent, unlike those in S. furva. In addition, the parameres are narrower and only near apices widened in S. gracilis, and the oblique proximal section of the flagellum is much shorter and hardly widened in S. variabilis.	en	Löbl, Ivan (2020): Four new Taiwanese species of Scaphobaeocera CSIKI (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scaphidiinae).

B061879F9F18FFD133FFFE30FDEDFEEB.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis: This species is very similar and likely related with S. furva. It differs in external characters from the latter by the wider antennomeres IX to XI and the setae on the median part of metaventrite distinctly longer. The aedeagi provide reliable distinguish characters, the apical process of the median lobe is notably longer, the parameres are more expanded apically, and the flagellum forming only two loops is distinctly folded in proximal section.	en	Löbl, Ivan (2020): Four new Taiwanese species of Scaphobaeocera CSIKI (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scaphidiinae).

B061879F9F19FFD133FFFE6AFC4BF9B0.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis: The aedeagal characters of this species suggest relationships with the Japanese S. smetanai LÖBL, 1981. The latter may be distinguished by the well visible elytral and abdominal microsculpture, the distinctly iridescent elytra, and the length / width ratios of the antennomeres, notably by the antennomeres VIII about as narrow as the antennomeres VI and the antennomeres XI about 2.5 times as long as wide. The aedeagi of these two species differ by apical process of the median lobe narrower (lateral view), the margin of the basal sclerite of the internal sac broadly convex, and the proximal section of the flagellum much narrower in S. montana.	en	Löbl, Ivan (2020): Four new Taiwanese species of Scaphobaeocera CSIKI (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scaphidiinae).
