This work is an update to our previous publication on the Asian fauna of Sepedon (Vikhrev and Yanbulat 2019). It is devoted to the few still unsolved problems. Taxonomic status of Far Eastern population of S. spinipes Scopoli, 1763 without dark frontal spots is raised to the subspecies level (1). S. spangleri Beaver, 1974, described from Central Thailand, is synonymysed with S. senex Wiedemann, 1830 syn. nov. (2). We offer a modified identification key of the Asian Sepedon spp. with some changes and corrections as compared to the one previously published (3).
