Abstract: Platyburak nom. n. is introduced for Notocorax Kaszab, 1975 nec Dejean, 1834. Platydendarus Kaszab, 1975 is synonymized with Notocorax Dejean, 1834 (syn. n.). The following new combinations for the species formerly placed in Notocorax Kaszab are proposed: Platyburak crenatus (Fabricius, 1781); P. tranquebarensis (Iwan, 1989); P. mandli (Kaszab, 1975); P. girardi (Kaszab, 1975); P. frilingeni (Kaszab, 19759 and P. opatrinoides (Kaszab, 1975), P. nervosus (Mulsant et Rey, 1853); P. blapoides (Kaszab, 1975), P. ramosus (Fairmaire, 1896); P. ampliatus (Fairmaire, 1898); P. simplicipes (Kaszab, 19759 and P. opatrinoides (Kaszab, 1975). Two new species of Platyburak are described from India: P. kaszabi and P. kukuczkai. The male of P. tranquebarensis (Iwan) is described and illustrated. Platycorax amploiatus (Fairmaire) is resurrected from the synonymy of P. ramosus (Fairmaire). An illustrated key to all species of Platyburak is given.
