Celyphus laev^is van der Wulp, Tijdschr. v. But., vol. 22, p. 53, 1881. 



Specimens which appear to belong to this species are very similar 

 to scufatus, differing essentially only in having the mesonotum and 

 scutellum less punctate, the latter being evidently punctate only at 

 base laterally.

 ing, Luzon (C. F. Baker).
