Type locality. [Algeria] Environs d’Oran (Desbrochers des Loges, 1897).

Type material examined. Lectotype (here designated): 1 spec. (MNHN, Pic coll.), ‘ Oran [hw] // 10 [hw, blue] // type [hw, yellow] // S. microps m. / (type Pic) x ♂ [hw] // TYPE [p, red] // Museum Paris / Coll. M. Pic [p] // LECTOTYPUS / Sciaphilus / microps Desbr., 1897 / Borovec & Perrin desig. 2015 [p, red] // Desbrochersella / microps (Desbr.) / R. Borovec det. 2015 [p]’. Paralectotype: 1 spec. (MNHN, Pic coll.), the same data as lectotype, but ‘ S. microps m. / (type Pic) ♀ [hw]’ and ‘ PARALECTOTYPUS / Sciaphilus / microps Desbr., 1897 / Borovec & Perrin desig. 2015 [p, red]’.

Additional material examined. 1 male, Algeria, Oran (MNHN).

Remarks. The lectotype of Sciaphilus microps is 2.94 mm long. The slender antennae, long-oval appressed elytral scales, short and wide, dorsally regularly conical rostrum and frontoepistomal area posteriorly arched make this species similar to D. baetica and D. diversepubens . From both species it is easy distinguishable by very short, hardly visible raised setae on elytra, and also shorter funicle segments and onychium.
