TYPE SPECIMENS. Platycoelia intermedia<br />

Ohaus lectotype male at ZMHB labeled a)<br />

“Macas Ecuador or.” (typeface), b) “Type” (red<br />

label, typeface), c) “Platycoelia intermedia<br />

Ohs.” (red label, handwritten), d) “PLATY-<br />

COELIA INTERMEDIA OHAUS M LECTO-<br />

TYPE A. B. T. SMITH 2002” (red label,<br />

handwritten and typeface). Lectotype here<br />

designated. See Methods and Materials section<br />

for a statement <strong>of</strong> taxonomic purpose.<br />

Ohaus (1925) stated that the type series was<br />

“received from Staudinger,” but did not explicitly<br />

state how many specimens were in the type<br />

series. The original description was based on<br />

males only. The existence and location <strong>of</strong><br />

paralectotypes are unknown. Type locality:<br />

Macas, Morona Santiago, Ecuador.<br />

DESCRIPTION. Male (n=1). Length 25.8<br />

mm, width 15.4 mm. Color olive green with<br />

slightly lighter green longitudinal stripes on<br />

elytron; yellow elytron, pronotum, scutellum<br />

margins. Body ovate, strongly convex. Head:<br />

Dorsal surface glabrous. Frons moderately<br />

punctate (base) to rugopunctate (apex);<br />

clypeus rugose, punctures small or moderate.<br />

Frons not depressed. Frontoclypeal suture<br />

incomplete, absent medially. Clypeal apex<br />

broadly rounded. Eyes separated by approximately<br />

2.7 transverse eye-widths. Labrum<br />

sparsely punctate, with moderately large, setose<br />

punctures, setae tawny. Apex <strong>of</strong> labrum<br />

with triangular, medial tooth; apex <strong>of</strong> tooth<br />

broadly truncate, extending past apex <strong>of</strong> mentum.<br />

Apex <strong>of</strong> mentum with triangular medial<br />

tooth curved into oral cavity. Antenna 10-segmented;<br />

club approximately equal to other<br />

segments combined, slightly shorter than<br />

length <strong>of</strong> frons. Pronotum: Surface glabrous,<br />

densely punctate, with small or moderate<br />

punctures. Marginal bead weak apicolaterally,<br />

laterally, absent elsewhere. Elytron:<br />

Surface glabrous; longitudinal striae with<br />

scattered punctures, punctures moderate; intervals<br />

densely punctate, punctures small.<br />

Suture angled apically, without spine. Pygidium:<br />

Width approximately 2.6 times<br />

length medially. Surface weakly convex,<br />

densely punctate; punctures small or moderate,<br />

setose; setae short, cream colored. Venter:<br />

Thorax densely setose (except glabrous medially),<br />

setae white. Mesothoracic process<br />

strongly produced, projecting anteriorly past<br />

protrochanter; shape conical-elongate, apex<br />

rounded; ventrally flattened. Abdomen<br />

sparsely setose, setae cream colored. Apical<br />

spiracles not extruding. Legs: Protibia with 2<br />

teeth in apical quarter. Mesotibia and<br />

metatibia widest medially. Protarsomeres 2-<br />

4 wider than long, cup-shaped. Protarsomere<br />

3-4 with internoapical stridulatory ridge.<br />

Protarsomere 5 with internal stridulatory<br />

ridge. Mesotarsomere and metatarsomere 5<br />

with internobasal tooth. Unguitractor plate cylindrical,<br />

with 2 apical setae. Modified protarsal
