FD688011FFEDFFAC62BA6AC0FDCD77D1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species is distinguished by the lack of a tooth on the upper side of the profemur, and the presence of small spines on the interstriae of the elytral declivity. It resembles S. blandfordi Gebhardt and related species in its elongate body with elytra about 1.7 ‒ 2.0 times as long as pronotum, elytral declivity beginning in apical third of elytra, and prosternum raised in a triangle with apex anterior. It can be distinguished from all these species, except S. zahradniki Knížek, by the presence of carinate and spinose interstriae in both sexes, and the female pronotum without a mycangial pore. It is distinguished from S. zahradniki by the male prosternum anteriorly with two processes like long pointed spines with slightly outwardly curved tips (Fig. 2 A), compared to two curved falcate processes in S. zahradniki (Fig. 2 D).	en	Gebhardt, Heiko, Beaver, Roger A., Allgaier, Christoph (2021): Three new species of Scolytoplatypus Schaufuss from China, and notes on the movement and functions of the prosternal processes (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae).

FD688011FFE8FFA862BA6DD4FE2E73C5.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species is distinguished from most Asian species of Scolytoplatypus by the lack of a tooth on the upper side of the profemur, and the absence of spines or teeth at the summit of the elytral declivity. It is most closely similar to S. blandfordi Gebhardt, which it resembles in its elongate body with elytra about 1.7 ‒ 2.0 times as long as pronotum, elytral declivity beginning in apical third of elytra, and prosternum raised in a triangle with apex anterior. However, it is distinguished from S. blandfordi by characters of the male frons and anterior processes of the prosternum. In S. geminus, lower half of frons shining, slightly gibbous towards sides at level of antennal insertions; marginal fringe of setae on upper half of the frons short, with tips of setae rarely reaching midline, and not overlapping; underlying hairlike setae forming the vestiture below the marginal fringes more numerous, more closely placed, longer and finer. In S. blandfordi, lower half of frons matt, not gibbous towards sides; marginal fringe of setae on upper part of the frons much longer, setae meeting in midline and slightly overlapping; setae forming underlying vestiture less closely placed, shorter and slightly coarser. In S. geminus, anterior end of raised prosternal triangle ends in a sharply pointed projecting tip; anterior processes of prosternum directed anteriorly, diverging at an angle of about 60 o (Fig. 2 B). In S. blandfordi, anterior tip of raised prosternal triangle rounded or truncate; anterior processes directed laterally, diverging at an angle of about 160 o (Fig. 2 E).	en	Gebhardt, Heiko, Beaver, Roger A., Allgaier, Christoph (2021): Three new species of Scolytoplatypus Schaufuss from China, and notes on the movement and functions of the prosternal processes (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae).

FD688011FFE9FFAB62BA6B7CFE2E7501.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is the largest known species of Scolytoplatypus, with males 4.7 ‒ 4.8 mm long, and females 4.9 ‒ 5.3 mm, and can be distinguished by size alone. It lacks a profemoral tooth, and has small interstrial spines near the summit of the elytral declivity. The basal angles of the pronotum are not produced. It is most closely similar to S. pubescens Hagedorn. It resembles that species in the male frons with an area of dense, short hairs in the middle and a male prosternum with two triangular processes anteriorly. The males can be distinguished by a prosternum with obtuse triangular processes (Fig. 2 C), in contrast to elongated, acute triangular processes in S. pubescens (Fig. 2 F) In both sexes of S. peniculatus, the declivity lacks the dense vestiture present in S. pubescens, and all interstriae bear a single row of spines, each with a single, long, erect seta.	en	Gebhardt, Heiko, Beaver, Roger A., Allgaier, Christoph (2021): Three new species of Scolytoplatypus Schaufuss from China, and notes on the movement and functions of the prosternal processes (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae).

Convex, above the epistoma with a triangularly impressed area, with a central carina, surface microreticulate, with fine punctures bearing setae. Antennal club. Oval, coarsely hairy, 1.4 times as long as wide. Pronotum. 1.25 times as wide as long, widest in the middle, constricted posteriorly, dorsal surface minutely reticulate, finely punctured, median emargination much shallower than in male, mycangial pit in midline in anterior half, oval, a narrow area around it glabrous, otherwise with sparse, long, yellowish setae, shorter posteriorly; anteroposterior angle without a fovea.
