The type specimen represents a
holotype
by original designation (
ICZN 1999
: Article 73.1.1.), because
Cameron (1941: 230)
stated ‘Type in my collection.’ and labeled the specimen accordingly. Four
additional specimens
from the Cameron collection at NHML are rated as
paratypes
and labeled accordingly.

Redescription:
Habitus and coloring as in
Fig. 6
. Head subquadrate. Antennae with penultimate segment quadrate. Mesotibia slender. Surface of head and elytra matt due to dense setose punctation; pronotum shiny with very fine, sparse punctation; forebody without microreticulation. Pubescence of body surface short, decumbent, without conspicuous macrosetae. Body reddish medium brown to dark brown except for elytra gradually blackened from about longitudinal middle towards contrasted, yellow-brown posterior fifth and yellow-brown tip of abdomen; maxillary palpi, antennae and legs yellow brown. Total body length
2.5 – 2.9 mm
; forebody length
1.4 – 1.5 mm
.
Male: Abdominal sternite VII with unmodified posterior margin.AbdominalsterniteVIIIwithconcaveemargination in almost posterior third (
Fig. 123
). Aedeagus (
Figs 31
,
62 – 64
) about
0.7 mm
long; apical lobes narrow, hooked ventrally with slender, emarginate apices (
Figs 31
,
62
), in ventral and dorsal view (
Figs 63, 64
) subparallel with acute ends, together only third as wide as phallobase; dorsal lobe as long as apical lobes, strongly projecting from apical lobes ventrally, semicircularly curved dorsad, with conspicuous ventral dilatation evenly tapered towards acute end; lateral lobes subrectangular, somewhat projecting laterad, each with spacious row of few setae (
Figs 31
,
62, 63
); median foramen transverse, short longitudinally, limited distally by strongly sclerotized, transverse ridge.
Female: Sperm pump with long, slender segments (
Fig. 151
); bursa hyaline with small, apical sclerotization (
Fig. 149
).

Distribution:
Examined specimens of
Scopaeus mixtus
originate from
Sabah
in the Malaysian part of Borneo. I expect this species to occur in
Kalimantan
as well, which is why it is included in this contribution.
