Remarks. The lectotype of Sciaphilus diversepubens is 3.69 mm long, remounted by us with genitalia extracted on the same card as the specimen. The lectotype of Sciaphilus curtipennis is 3.44 mm long. The slender antennae, elongate-oval appressed elytral scales and long semierect elytral setae, the short and wide, dorsally regularly conical rostrum and frontoepistomal area posteriorly arched make this species similar to D. baetica (Schaufuss, 1862) . Desbrochersella diversepubens can be distinguished from D. baetica by its frontoepistomal area longer and shallowly depressed, conspicuous semierect setae on antennae and tibiae and wider pronotum.
