Spiloscapha

Schawaller, Wolfgang, 2012, New species and records of the genus Spiloscapha Bates (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from the Oriental and Papuan Regions (part 2), Zootaxa 3336 (1), pp. 62-68 : 67

Spiloscapha sp.

( Fig. 10 )

New material. W Malaysia, Pahang, Cameron Highlands, Tanah Rata , 1500–1800 m, 2.–26.III.2004, leg. P. Pacholátko, 1 ex. NHMB.

Remarks. This single small specimen (body length 3.0 mm) might represent a further new species, but it cannot be excluded at present, that it is only an infraspecific colour variation of S. nigrofasciata Gebien, 1925 from the same area (see above). The colour pattern is similar as in S. sinabunga Schawaller, 1997 , described by a single female from Sumatra, with larger body length (4.1 mm). Further material is necessary to varify infraspecific variation and specific differences within this group.
