Platygavialidium sinicum Günther, 1939 View in CoL
Platygavialidium sinicum: Günther 1939 View in CoL , Blackith 1992, Deng 2016.
Scelimena wuyishanensis: Deng, 2016 View in CoL ; syn. nov.
Type material examined. 1♀ HOLOTYPE, 1♀ PARATYPUS, and 1♂ PARTYPE Shaowu, Fukien (500 m) Leg. J. Klapperich 29.VI.1937 (MTD). Photographs of the holotype and the paratypes are available in OSF. Photographs of Scelimena wuyishanensis were examined from Deng (2016).
Type locality: PR China: Fujian (= Fukien in Günther [1939]): Shaowu.
Notes. The species more similar to its congeners from the Philippines, than to one from Taiwan. It is however different as it has very wide vertex and more elongated hind femora. Also, morphology of the ventrolateral spines is different—the anterior spine is strong and directed forwards, while the posterior margin is slightly produced, rounded and not spiky. Pronotal projections are lower, since the pronotum is much longer than in other congeners and ML is smaller tubercle than in the congeners from the Philippines. The specimens Deng (2016) reported do not belong to Scelimena species, but are conspecific with P. sinicum . Types of two species are identical in morphology. Type locality of the female holotype specimen of S. wuyishanensis originated from Fujian: Nanping: Wuyishan (600 m a.s.l.), while that of P. sinicum from Fujian, Nanping, Shaowu, just about 60 km SW.
