467487DDC614BD30FF6AF8FFCE61F84F.taxon	description	Description. Length 1.65 mm, width 1.17 mm. Head with blackish frons. Pronotum dark brown on large median area, ochraceous along anterior margin and on lateral areas. Elytra ochraceous, each darkened along base, with dark basal area expanded along suture to form triangular spot reaching sutural mid-length, and with narrow subapical darkened stripe. Hypomera ochraceous. Mesoventrite and metaventrite with anepisterna and epimera dark brown to blackish. Ventrites I to IV dark brown, apical abdominal segments yellowish. Femora and tibiae ochraceous, tarsi and antennae yellowish. Length / width ratios of antennomeres as: III 15 / 8: IV 25 / 7: V 30 / 8: VI 48 / 9: VII 55 / 16: VIII 47 / 11: IX 52 / 16: X 50 / 15 (left antennomeres X and XI and right antennomere XI broken off and missing). Pronotum lacking miscrosculpture, with lateral margins nearly evenly rounded, lateral margin carinae concealed in dorsal view, these carinae very finely and densely punctate, discal punctation fine and dense, most puncture intervals usually two to four times as large as puncture diameters, punctures well delimited, clearly visible at 25 times magnification. Exposed point of scutellum minute. Elytra not microsculptured, with lateral margins evenly rounded, carinae of lateral margin exposed in dorsal view, lateral margin striae finely and densely punctate, apical margins rounded, inner apical angles not prominent, about in level with outer apical angles, marginal crenulation absent, sutural margin not raised, sutural striae shallow, parallel, each with single puncture row, bent at bases and extended laterally to form basal striae reaching elytral mid-width; discal punctures fine and dense, coarser than pronotal or adsutural punctures, not forming rows, puncture intervals mostly about as larger to two times as large as puncture diameters. Exposed tergites with punctation hardly visible at 100 times magnification. Hypomera not microsculptured, appearing impunctate. Mesepimon about three times as long as wide and distinctly shorter than interval to mesocoxa. Metaventrite with striate microsculpture on median and apicolateral areas, not microsculptured on most of lateral surface. Median part of metaventrite weakly convex, not impressed apically, lacking separate impressions near metacoxae. Punctation on metaventrite sparse and very fine, consisting of well delimited punctures; antecoxal puncture rows absent. Submesocoxal area 0.05 mm long, about as fourth of shortest interval to metacoxa. Submesocoxal line convex, very finely punctate. Metanepisterna slightly convex, narrowed anteriad, with straight suture. Abdomen with transversely striate microsculpture, except on basolateral areas of ventrite I, and very finely and sparsely punctate. Ventrite I very finely punctate, submetacoxal area 0.10 mm long, nearly as long as interval to apical margin of ventrite. Tibiae straight. Male characters. Protarsomeres I to III slightly widened. Mesotarsomeres not widened. Apex of ventrite VI gradually narrowed, not forming distinctive lobe. Aedeagus as in Figs 1 – 3, 0.68 mm long, moderately sclerotized. Basal bulb large, convex and lacking articular tubercle at base of parameres. Apical process of median lobe strongly inflexed, with dorsal branch only moderately shorter than ventral branch, ventral branch gradually narrowed and with acute tip. Parameres weakly arcuate, as long as half of median lobe. Internal sac consisting of convoluted, spinose tube. Differential­diagnosis. This new species leads to S. latro Löbl, 2000, couplet 24, in the key to the Chinese Scaphisoma (Löbl 2019 a). However, the latter species is unrelated (based on aedeagal characters) and differs notably by its colour pattern and the antennomeres V and VI similar in length. The aedeagal characters of S. konvickai suggest relationships to S. invertum Löbl, 2000 from Guangxi and Yunnan, S. invisum Löbl, 1990 from Thailand, S. discretum Löbl, 1986 from Northeast India, and S. binaluanum Pic, 1947 from the Philippines. The new species is distinguished from all of these by the short apical process of the median lobe, compared to the basal bulb, and the complexly convoluted internal sac, similar to that of the Sulawesian S. bugi Löbl, 1983. It differs in external characters from S. invertum notably by the elytra having basal striae, the mesepimeron shorter than the interval to the mesocoxa, and the strigulate abdominal microsculpture. Scaphisoma invertum possesses elytra darkened along the base, in the middle and near the apices, lacks basal striae, and the exposed abdominal segments have punctulate microsculpture. Scaphisoma invisum differs by its body being only 1.05 – 1.15 mm long, the antennomere V being longer than the antennomere VI and the submesocoxal area longer than the submetacoxal area. Scaphisoma discretum may be easily distinguished by its antennomeres VI being about as long as the antennomeres III to V, combined with the elytra lacking basal striae. Scaphisoma binaluanum also has elytra without basal striae, and is characterized by the well-defined transverse band posterior to the elytral mid-length, that provides a distinctive colour pattern. Scaphisoma bugi has each elytron with two reddish spots, lacking basal striae and an apicoventrally prominent basal bulb of the aedeagus (Löbl 1983), by which it may be readily distinguished from S. konvickai.

467487DDC617BD31FF6AFF08CEA7FAE0.taxon	description	Description. Length 2.45 – 2.65 mm, width 1.32 – 1.45 mm. Head and body black, with ochraceous exposed tergites and ventrites V and VI. Femora black, tibiae and tarsi reddish-brown or ochraceous, tarsi lighter than tibiae. Palpi and antennomeres I to IV ochraceous, following antennomeres light brown. Length / width ratios of antennomeres as: III 41 / 10: IV 40 / 10: V 49 / 10: VI 46 / 11: VII 58 / 17: VIII 36 / 12: IX 47 / 18: X 50 / 20: XI 65 / 28. Pronotum rather densely, very finely punctate, punctures hardly visible at 25 x magnification. Tip of scutellum exposed. Elytron with sutural stria reduced, limited to apical fifth of sutural length; basal halves of stria absent; epipleural and lateral striae parallel from bases to mid-length; discal punctation irregular, fine, coarser than on pronotum, rather dense. Hind wings fully developed. Mesosternum with few fine punctures along lateral margins, mesosternal process with shallow impression somewhat more impressed near suture, lacking median keel. Metaventrite smooth, not microsculptured, slightly convex on most of median area, flattened on apicomedian area; metacoxal process oblique. Submesocoxal area about 0.10 mm, as long as half of shortest interval to metacoxa. Submesocoxal line sinuate, evenly arcuate between mesocoxa, impunctate. Metanepisternum flat, nearly evenly 0.10 mm wide, with deep, slightly curved, impunctate suture. Tibias straight. Exposed abdominal segments very finely and sparsely punctate. Ventrite I not microsculptured, following ventrites with punctulate microsculpture hardly visible at 200 x magnification. Male characters. Protarsomeres I to III weakly enlarged, mesotarsomeres not enlarged. Aedeagus (Figs 4 – 7) 0.72 mm long. Apical process of median lobe gradually narrowed apicad, moderately inflexed, ventrally nearly evenly concave (lateral view). Articular process robust, strongly sclerotized. Expanded apical section of parameres separated by notch, apical margin of parameres bearing few very short setae; parameres gradually widened apicad in lateral view. Internal sac with straight rod followed by densely spinose tube. Differential­ diagnosis. This species shares with T. incompletum Löbl, 1990 black thorax and elytra, elytra lacking basal striae and possessing strongly reduced sutural striae. It has also a similar pattern of punctation though not arranged to form striae on elytral disc, and a straight flagellum. It may be distinguished from T. incompletum by the submesocoxal areas as long as half of the shortest interval to the metacoxae, the dark femora and ventrites I to IV, and the aedeagal characters. Notable is the apical process of the median lobe being weakly inflexed, the parameres being gradually expanded apically in lateral view, notched subapically in dorsal view and bearing extremely fine, short apical setae, and the internal sac bearing dense rows of very fine spines. The key to the Asian species of Toxidium (Löbl, 2019 b) is not applicable for this new species, as its parameres cannot be considered to be asetose.	en	Löbl, Ivan (2022): - On-new-collections-of-Scaphidiinae- (Coleoptera: - Staphylinidae) - from-China, - with-description-of-two-new-species.
