Remarks. This species appears to be widely distributed and has been reported from China: Yunnan; Indonesia: Lombok, Sumatra; Philippines: Palawan; Thailand; Vietnam (see LÖBL 2018). The description of Scaphisoma bugiamapi suggest its synonymy with Sapitia lombokiana, notably the illustration of the aedeagus, and the statement about striate elytra (based on a misintepretation of the elytral pubescence). Additional information provided by M. Prokofiev (personal communication) convinced the author to publish it.
