Remarks. Platynoscelis (Cardiobioramix) kulzeri was described from Selong [might be Selong Village, Kungyü Township, Kangding City], Sankiangkou, Sichuan, China compared with B. subaenescens . After the examination of type and additional specimens of B. szetschuana and B. subaenescens , photographs of holotype along with aedeagus and allotype of Platynoscelis (Cardiobioramix) kulzeri , Platynoscelis (Cardiobioramix) kulzeri become a junior synonym of B. szetschuana .
