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 distinct, yellow,
longitudinal lines on striae 3 and 5; elytral
apices not capable of completely covering the
pygidium; apex of the elytral suture without
an acute spine; metasternum and abdominal
sternites green or yellow; mesothoracic process
projecting apically to procoxa; apical
abdominal spiracle not protuberant; mesotarsomere
5 and metatarsomere 5 with an
internomedial tooth; parameres with the apex
rounded, not expanded.
