claw with length greater than protarsomere
5, thickened and elongate when compared
with other claw, laterally flattened, apex unevenly
bifurcate. Modified mesotarsal and
metatarsal claws elongated with ventral tooth,
not thickened. Male Genitalia: Parameres dorsoventrally
flattened, apicomedially acute.
Female (n=2). Length 28.5-29.8 mm,
width 16.0-17.0 mm. As male except in the following
respects. Head: Antennal club slightly
shorter than other segments combined. Legs:
Protibia with 3 teeth in apical half, third tooth
shorter. Protarsomere 3-4 without internoapical
stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 without internal
tooth or ridge. Modified protarsal claw
with ventral tooth, not thickened.
DIAGNOSIS. This species is distinguished
from all other species in the genus Platycoelia
by the following combination of characters:
clypeal apex weakly reflexed; frontoclypeal
suture incomplete; labrum with a well-developed,
truncate apical tooth strongly overlapping
the mentum; mentum with a distinct
tooth curved into the oral cavity; antenna 10segmented;
pronotum surface densely punctate
with a mix of small and moderate
punctures; elytron with yellow, longitudinal
lines on striae 1-7 within thick, light, longitudinal
bands, light bands separated by thin,
dark bands; elytral apices capable of completely
covering the pygidium; pygidium entirely
setose; metasternum and abdominal
sternites green; protibial spur noticeably
shorter than the adjacent tibial apex;
mesotarsomere 4 and metatarsomere 4 in
males with an apical stridulatory ridge;
mesotarsomere 5 and metatarsomere 5 with
internobasal tooth; parameres with the apex
dorsoventrally flattened.
