Abstract

Four new species of the genus Spiloscapha Bates, 1873 (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae, Diaperinae) are described: S. bryanti sp. n.(Java), S. cechovskyi sp. n. (W Malaysia), S. meghalaya sp. n. (NE India: Meghalaya) and S. toxopeusi sp. n. (Moluccas:Buru). S. rufonotata (Pic, 1916) comb. n. is transferred from Basanus Lacordaire, 1857 to Spiloscapha Bates, 1873. New fau-nistic data of known species are added and a complete checklist of all 35 species of Spiloscapha from the Oriental and Papuan Regions is provided.
