Platylomia operculata Distant 1913

Platylomia operculata Distant, 1913 Remarks. This species was synonymized with P. radha (Distant, 1881) by Beuk (1998) but resurrected by Boulard (2005). Although Wang & Wei (2014) mentioned in the introduction the resurrection of P. operculata, the authors didn’t include it in the key to the species of Platylomia of China. A possibility is that they still considered P. operculata as junior synonym of P. radha because they did not have access to Boulard’s article or disagreed with the resurrection. I retain it in the Chinese fauna but the actual range of the species needs further investigation.
