Platyintybia, a new genus of Apalochrini (Coleoptera, Melyridae, Malachiinae) from China.

A new genus of malachiine Melyridae, Platyintybia gen. nov., is described based on several male-specific characters, along with description of its type species, Platyintybia zhongshanensis sp. nov., from China. A new combination, Platyintybia sarawakensis (Champion, 1921), comb. nov., is proposed after examining the type specimen; this species is newly recorded from China. A key to the genera of Chinese Apalochrini is provided for the first time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
