The record for Borneo ( Bernhauer 1922: 230 ) may go back to two male Bornean specimens (Pagate, Telang 1881, leg. Grabowsky) of an undescribed species in the Fauvel collection ( ISNB ) identified as Scopaeus decipiens Kraatz, 1859 , which is considered a synonym of S. velutinus since Fauvel (1904: 53) . Type studies revealed that this synonymy is incorrect. Both S. velutinus and S. decipiens are absent from Indonesia . The undescribed species from Borneo is, however, closely related to the ‘true’ S. decipiens from India .
