Description

Scopaeus fusculus Motschulsky, 1858

Motschulsky (1858: 641) described Scopaeus fusculus from ‘Indes orientales’ without precise locality data. However, ‘Birma’ (= Myanmar) is written on the original label of the single type specimen. The species was later recorded for Jawa Barat [Bandung (Bandoeng Dago), 08.12.1929; Cilacap (Tjilatjap), 20.01.1927 (Cameron 1936: 52)]. There is no evidence for the occurrence in Indonesia, which is why S. fusculus should not be listed for the country.
