Synonymy: Paromalus Lewis, 1907: 316 (nec Erichson, 1834: 167); Cooman, 1948: 134 (synonymized). Type species: Hister complanatus Panzer, 1797 . Original designation.
Remarks. Cooman (1948) proposed Platylomalus as a replacement name for Paromalus Lewis, 1907 , preoccupied by Paromalus Erichson, 1834 . Therefore the two names have the same type species, Hister complantus Panzer.
About 60 species have been described worldwide ( Mazur 1997), mainly inform the Old World tropics. In China, five species had been recorded from Taiwan ( Bickhardt 1912; Lewis 1915) and one from Hainan ( Vienna, 1983) before this study. Here, one new species is described from Hainan province and two species are recorded in China for the first time.
