Abstract
The richness of the terrestrial fauna of French Polynesia is discussed, with emphasis on the beetle family Staphylinidae. Currently, members of the subfamily Scaphidiinae are unrecorded from the archipelago or even the whole French Polynesia. The first member of this subfamily, Scaphisoma jacqi n. sp., was collected on the Raiatea Island and is described. This new species shows affinities with S. perkinsi Scott, 1908, known from Hawaii and Bonin Islands.
