Description:
Habitus and coloring (
Fig. 4
) like in brachypterous, dark colored
Scopaeus javanus
(
Fig. 1
) and
S. batukaruensis
(
Fig. 3
).
Holotype
(
Fig. 4
) brachypterous, without palisade fringe. Total body length
2.9 mm
; forebody length
1.6 mm
.
Male: Abdominal sternites VII and VIII (
Fig. 121
) as in
S. javanus
(
Fig. 119
) and
S. batukaruensis
(
Fig. 120
). Aedeagus (
Figs 29
,
56 – 58
)
0.7 mm
long, distinguished from that of
S. javanus
and
S. batukaruensis
by ventrally inemarginate (
Fig. 56
: arrow I), apicolaterally widened apical lobes (
Fig. 57
: arrow
III
,
Fig. 58
); different from aedeagus of
S. javanus
moreover by narrow, not lobiform apex of dorsal lobe (
Fig. 56
: arrow
II
).
Female unknown.
Distribution:
Scopaeus riedeli
is known from the south of
Sumatra
only.
Etymology:
The epithet
riedeli
(Latinized noun, derived from the surname ‘Riedel’, genitive, singular) is chosen in honor of Alexander Riedel, specialist of Indonesian
Curculionidae
at Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Karlsruhe,
Germany
, who collected this new species in Sumatra.
Comment:
Scopaeus javanus
,
S. batukaruensis
and
S. riedeli
form a species group with allopatric distribution in the Sunda Islands. The species are linked by the similar habitus, wing-dimorphism (
Figs 1 – 4
) and the characteristic shape of the aedeagus with a strongly ventrad curved, from the apical lobes strongly projecting, distally extended dorsal lobe (
Figs 27 – 29
,
50 – 58
).
