The distribution of Scopaeus limbatus , widespread throughout the Oriental Region, was presented by Frisch (2005: 76, 77) in the framework of a revision of the S. limbatus species group. It turned out, that old records for Indonesia, e.g. Sumatra [ Sumatera Barat, Bukittingi, Fort de Kock ( Cameron 1930: 346) ], often are based on misidentification. Only the occurrence on Jawa and Timur is proven by specimens. The records presented here are the first for Jawa Barat.
