Hájek, Jiří & Zhang, Tao, 2019, A new Platambus from Sichuan, with new records of species of the P. sawadai group from China (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae: Agabinae), Zootaxa 4612 (4), pp. 533-543 : 540

Platambus wangi Brancucci, 2006

( Figs. 11 , 15 )

Material studied. China: 1 ♂, Hubei Province, Daba Shan Mts. , creek valley 8 km NW Muyuping, 31°29′N, 110°22′E, 1550–1650 m, 18.vii.2001, M. Schülke leg. ( NHMW) .

Distribution. A species described and so far known only from a small area (Shennongjia Forestry District) in western Hubei, China ( Fig. 20 ); a single female from Yunnan province doubtfully assigned to this species by Bran- cucci (2006) almost certainly belongs to another species.
