The description of <i>Scaphisoma bugiamapi</i> suggest its synonymy with <i>Sapitia lombokiana</i>, 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.
