The E. Reitters collection of exotic scaphidiines was puchased by R. Oberthür (HORN <i>et al</i>. 1990), and the bulk of the R. Oberthür collection is housed in the MHNN. Thus, Ihave assumed that also the type material of <i>B. longipes</i> is in the Paris collection (LÖBL 2018), although not found there while my visit. ACHARD (1924) stated to have received from R. Oberthür the type (le type) and transferred the species to <i>Heteroscapha</i> Achard, 1914 (a junior synonym of <i>Bironium</i>; see LÖBL 1971). As the number of original specimens is unknown, ACHARD (1924) designated the lectotype by inference, and this specimen is in the NMPC. The present concept of <i>B. longipes</i> (Reitter) is based on this specimen examined previously and redescribed in LÖBL (1989), though re­examined for the present study. It complies with the original Reitters description. The followings characters are here newly given: Elytra with basal striae interrupted at level of humeral areas; male tarsomere Iabout as wide as half of protibial apex, shorter than tarsomeres II and III combined; tarsomeres III not lobed, with long, not flattened ventral setae; gonocoxite without gonostyle (Fig. 20).
