Indonesia ( Kalimantan , Sulawesi , Sumatra , Java , Sumbawa), Malaysia ( Sarawak ), Mascarene Islands, Sri Lanka , Thailand , and Vietnam . Comments. Scaphisoma obliquemaculatum was redescribed in LÖBL (1971) . In absence of distinctive characters, I place Pseudoscaphosoma atrithorax Pic in synonymy with this widely distributed species. The MNHN houses five additional females identified by Pic as P. atrithorax . They come from Sumatra , Fort de Kock (present Bukittinggi), and were collected in 1926 by E. Jacobson. They are mounted on a single pin and bear a subsequently given red ‘TYPE’ label.
