Distribution of Platycoelia puncticollis, P. unguicularis, P. traceyae, P. wallisi, P. flavohumeralis, and P. steinheili in Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. Female (n=165). Length 18.4-22.7 mm, width 11.0-13.2 mm. As male except in the following respects. Head: Antennal club slightly shorter than other segments combined. Venter: Apical spiracles not extruding. Legs: Protarsomere 3-4 without internoapical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 without internal tooth. 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: frontoclypeal suture complete; apex of the labrum with a broad, triangular tooth weakly overlapping the mentum; mentum with a distinct tooth not curved into the oral cavity; mentum base medially depressed; antenna 10-segmented; elytron with a distinct, yellow,

DISTRIBUTION (Fig. 65). Known from the eastern slope of the Andes Mountains from northwestern Venezuela to southern Ecuador.
