Cooman, 1948: 134 (replacement name); Arnett, 1963: 375, 381; Witzgall, 1971: 177; Kryzhanovskij & Reichardt, 1976: 272; Vienna, 1980: 222; Mazur, 1984: 133 (catalogue); 1997: 181 (catalogue); Yélamos & Ferrer, 1988: 180; Ôhara, 1994: 174; 1999: 116; Ôhara & Paik, 1998: 27; Yélamos, 2002: 196 (character), 380; Löbl & Smetana, 2004: 75 (catalogue). Type species: Hister complanatus Panzer, 1797 , no 7. Fixed by objective synonymy with Paromalus Lewis, 1907: 316 .

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.
