Abstract: 
Four new species are described: S. alaschiacus and S. flavofasciatus from Cyprus, S. palaestinus from Israel and S. hercegovinensis from Bosnia-Hercegovina. Nine additional species are redefined, and four species names synonymised: S. koestlinianus Scheerpeltz = S. gracilis Sperk. S. furcatus Binaghi, S. pamphylicus Coiffait = S. minimus Erichson. S. baudrimonti Coiffait = S. ryei Wollaston. Scopaeus gracilis siculus Binaghi and S. micropterus championi Binaghi are raised to species rank. The species are defined by external morphological, genital and meristic characters, and illustrated. Lectotypes are designated for S. apicalis Mulsant & Rey, S. erichsoni Kolenati, S. micropterus Fauvel, S, minimus Erichson, S. ryei Wollaston, S. siculus Binaghi and S, trossulus Wollaston.
