Remarks.
Scaphidium stigmatinotum
is closest to
S. klapperichi
Pic, 1954
, but can be easily separated using the key provided in this paper.
Scaphidium stigmatinotum
differs from all the other Chinese species (excluding
S. klapperich
) in having a distinct fascia pattern of elytra. For a detailed description see
Löbl 1999
