The distribution of
Scopaeus testaceus
,
which is widespread throughout the Oriental region, was revised by
Frisch (2003: 672 – 674)
. Accordingly, the species is proven for Borneo,
Sulawesi
,
Sumatra
and
Java
. Old records for
Indonesia
, which need confirmation by examination of reference specimens, were published by
Bernhauer (1922: 230
; Sunda Islands),
Bernhauer & Schubert (1912: 252
;
Java
,
Sumatra
) and
Cameron (1930: 346
,
Sumatra
Utara: Medan; 1936: 52,
Jawa Tengah
: Cilacap [Tjilatjap]).
Fauvel (1886: 147)
published records for
Sulawesi
,
Sumatra
and
Java
under the name
S. suturalis
Kraatz
, a junior synonym of
S. testaceus
(
Frisch 2003: 672
)
. Records from New
Guinea
(
Biswas & Biswas 1995: 281
,
Cameron 1931: 173
,
Last 1966: 3
,
Scheerpeltz 1933: 1270
) are implausible and probably refer to related members of the
S. laevigatus
species group (
Frisch 2003
).
Scopaeus testaceus
is here for the first time recorded for Aceh, Bengkulu and
Sumatera Barat.
