Scaphisoma
Leach, 1815
Scaphisoma
comprises 722 species, and is the most species-rich genus of the subfamily
Scaphidiinae
. Six of these species are known from
Sulawesi
. While one is widely distributed (
S. obliquemaculatum
Motschulsky, 1863
) and has been reported from
Sulawesi
by
LÖBL (1997)
, five are possibly endemic to the island. An additional eight species are present in the studied collections, one of them is left unidentified because it is represented in collections by a single female.
