Abstract
The genus Bioramix Bates, 1879 from Nepal is revised. Seven valid species are distinguished, including a new one: Bioramix (Leipopleura) medvedevisp. n. from Dolpo, which was misidentified as B. (L.) politicollis (Kaszab, 1940) by the previous authors. Lectotypes for the following species are designated: Bioramix ovalis Bates, 1879, Botiras oblongulus Fairmaire, 1898, Platyscelis aenescens Blair, 1923, and Platynoscelis kochi Kaszab, 1940. Photographs of the habitus of the adults and a key to species from Nepal are given.
