S. consanguineus
is known only by the
type
and belongs to
Scaphoideus
.
However, its relationship with other species cannot be established until the discovery of the male.

Coloration as described by
Rao and Emiliyamma (1995)
and similar to that in
S. coloratus
.
Male genitalia
: Pygophore without process, height to length ratio 1:1.25. Subgenital plate triangular, with distal end acutely pointed, 2.5 times as long as basal width, with three long stout setae arranged in an oblique row. Style with apophysis short, 0.33 as long as total length, laterally curved, with birdheadlike apex. Connective with arms as long as stem; paraphyses strongly converging at basal 0.33 then parallel, each paraphysis slightly twisted at apical 0.33 and then tapering to apex. Aedeagus compressed, with lateral ridges, dorsal apodeme welldeveloped, dorsal connectives welldeveloped, and stout, gonopore elongate on ventral margin.

Paratype

Remarks
:
S. decoratus
is similar to
S. colorata
and
S. sabourensis
Rao and Ramakrishnan
as they all share an apically twisted apophysis.
S. decoratus
differs from the two species in having a compressed aedeagal shaft.
