Saprovisca sarangay, new species, a second species in an unusual Philippine genus of Eupariini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae) Author Skelley, Paul E. text Insecta Mundi 2015 2015-04-17 2015 419 1 6 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.5182001 1942-1354 5182001 592A535A-7020-493B-B030-A511DCFD898C Saprovisca Stebnicka, 1993 Type species . Saprovisca leytensis Stebnicka, 1993 , by original designation. Diagnosis . Saprovisca is most similar to the genus Saprosites Redtenbacher , differing most notably in the presence of clypeal teeth. Both genera share a large and tumid head, parallel-sided and robust body, relatively short front legs, notably curved sutures between the abdominal sternites, and an almost V-shaped subapical suture. Remarks . Stebnicka (1993) briefly discusses some character similarities between Saprovisca and Cnematoplatys Schmidt , and considers Saprovisca to be an intermediate genus between Cnematoplatys and Saprosites . The rarity of both Cnematoplatys and Saprovisca in collections may be a factor of the brachypterous state of some included species, or unusual and unknown life histories.
