Scipopus (Scipopus) chalybeus Hennig, 1934 Figs 13–14 Scipopus chalybeus Hennig, 1934: 328. Scipopus chalybeus – Aczél 1949: 341 (catalog); 1951: 539 (key). — Steyskal 1968: 48.15 (catalog). Differential diagnosis Scipopus (Scipopus) chalybeus resembles other species of Scipopus s. str. with an at least partially white first fore tarsomere and a shiny epicephalon that is clearly delineated from the upper frontal vitta (S. (S.) brikelos sp. nov., S. (S.) nigripennis, S. (S.) furcifer, S. (S.) lateralis and S. (S.) nitidus sp. nov.), but differs in the entirely white microtrichose clypeus and the strongly convex female cervical sclerite. Some specimens of S. (S.). chalybeus lack the outer vertical seta, and others have a very short T1+2 that is equal in length to T3.
