Remarks.

The holotype of Helina dianxiia is almost identical to Helina aureolicolorata . The only difference between these two species is that the body color of Helina dianxiia is darker than Helina aureolicolorata . Helina dianxiia and Helina aureolicolorata are synonymized here because the two holotypes of these two nominal species characters are surprisingly consistent and genitalia are identical. Therefore, we synonymized Helina aureolicolorata under Helina dianxiia .
