Holotype . China : Hainan : male, glued on a board with labels as follows: “ China , Hainan , Limu Shan , alt. 800m , 20.IV.2009 , Zhu Xiao-Yu leg.” “ Holotype / Scaphidium longum / Tang & Li”[red handwritten label] ( SHNU ) . Paratypes . 9 males and 10 females , alt. 800m , 20.IV.2009 , Zhu Xiao-Yu leg. (SHNU) BL: 7.5–9.9 mm , ED: 0.31–0.39 mm , PL/PW of male: 0.82–0.86, PL/PW of female: 0.77–0.80. Similar to S. grande in most respects, but differs in the following characters: body form distinctly elongate; pronotum more convex; antennal club (Fig. 21) slenderer; male metasternum with larger setal patch; punctation of pronotum slightly finer and sparser; male profemora (Fig. 22) longer and slenderer, tubercles smaller; male protibiae (Fig. 22) longer and more incurved with a small subapical expansion and an apical angle on inner side; internal sac of aedeagus as in Figs 19, 20. Diagnoses . This species can be easily distinguished from other related species by the elongate body. Etymology . The Latin adjective “ longum ” refers to the elongate body and male legs of the new species. Biological notes. All specimens were collected from a log covered with white fungus (Fig. 43). Territorial behavior of the male was observed by the collector, and it was described as follows: Each male occupies a small area on the fungi. Normally they highly raise bodies upon their long legs and they can shake their bodies up and down rapidly. Once, a small male was too close to a large one, the large male rushed to it immediately and the small male retreated quickly, without having body contact.
