EF3A878A2A7B5628FF6D4DB878B5FE01.taxon	description	Description. BL: 5.5 – 6.1 mm. Body black and glossy, tibiae slightly lighter, antennal segments I – VI, maxillary palpi and tarsomeres brownish. Frons densely but shallowly punctuate with an impunctate portion on vertex, punctures mostly round and well delimited. Pronotum raised above elytra, with lateral edges slightly sinuate. Antebasal puncture row impressed; disc densely punctuate, punctures round and well delimited, puncture intervals mostly a little smaller than puncture diameters.

Prohypomera smooth with few indistinct punctures. Mesanepisterna smooth. Exposed abdominal sternites and tergites with coarse and relatively sparse punctures and densely reticulate microsculpture. Male. Metaventrite impressed in middle, with long semi-erect pubescence. Profemora (Fig. 6) with inner side expanded gradually from base forming an acute angle at basal 3 / 5, ventral side with tubercles arranged in one row; protibiae (Fig. 6) slightly incurved in lateral view with one indistinct tubercles row on inner side and small subapical angle.

EF3A878A2A7B5628FF6D4DB878B5FE01.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species is related to S. fukiense Pic, 1954 from Fujian, but can be easily distinguished from the latter by the larger size, the black femora (reddish in S. fukiense) and the spiny male profemora. It is also similar to S. spinatum Tang & Li, 2010, but differs in the entirely black femora (metafemora and mesofemora black with reddish fasciae in S. spinatum).	en	Tu, Yue-Ye, Tang, Liang (2017): Supplement to the knowledge of the genus Scaphidium Olivier of East China (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scaphidiinae).
