Description

Scaphobaeocera sp. A

Material examined. 1 ♀, PAPUA NG Morobe, Biaru Rd, Mt. Kolorong, 2200m, 08.VI.1992, G. CUCCODORO #19A [moss on ground and vegetational debris]; 1 ♀, same data but 2250m, 02.VI.1992 #14B [summit, moss in Notophagus forest]; 1 ♀, same data but 2200m, 04.VI.1992 #16C [on basidiomycetes] (all MHNG).

Comments. These specimens are likely members of an undescribed species. They share with S. balkei most of the diagnostic characters, may be distinguished by the abdominal sternites bearing punctulate microsculpture, the finer elytral punctation and the metaventrite lacking a median stria. A formal description is not given because the diagnostic male characters are unknown.
