and basally. Elytron: Surface glabrous; longitudinal<br />

striae weakly impressed; intervals<br />

sparsely to moderately punctate. Suture<br />

rounded apically, without spine. Pygidium:<br />

Width approximately 2.1 times length medially.<br />

Surface weakly convex, densely punctate;<br />

punctures moderate, setose (near apex); setae<br />

short, tawny. Venter: Thorax moderately setose<br />

(except glabrous medially), setae tawny.<br />

Mesothoracic process projecting anteriorly to<br />

procoxa, diamond shaped, ventrally flattened.<br />

Abdomen glabrous. Apical spiracles not extruding.<br />

Legs: Protibia with 3 teeth in apical<br />

half; 2 apical teeth subequal in size, third<br />

tooth reduced. Mesotibia and metatibia widest<br />

medially. Protarsomeres 2-4 wider than<br />

long, cup-shaped. Protarsomere 3-4 with<br />

internoapical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere<br />

5 with internomedial tooth. Mesotarsomere<br />

and metatarsomere 5 with<br />

internomedial tooth. Unguitractor plate cylindrical,<br />

with 2 subapical seta. Modified<br />

protarsal claw with length approximately<br />

equal to protarsomere 5, thickened and elongate<br />

when compared with other claw, dorsoventrally<br />

flattened, apex unevenly bifurcate.<br />

Modified mesotarsal and metatarsal claws<br />

elongated with ventral tooth, not thickened.<br />

Male Genitalia: Parameres 1.1 times longer<br />

than length <strong>of</strong> phallobase. Parameres smooth,<br />

slightly enlarged at apex.<br />

Female (n=8). Length 20.9-23.7 mm,<br />

width 12.8-13.3 mm. As male except in the<br />

following respects. Legs: Protarsomere 3-4<br />

without internoapical stridulatory ridge.<br />

Protarsomere 5 without internal tooth. Modified<br />

protarsal claw with ventral tooth, not<br />

thickened.<br />

DIAGNOSIS. This species is distinguished<br />

from all other species in the genus Platycoelia<br />

by the following combination <strong>of</strong> characters:<br />

frontoclypeal suture complete; apex <strong>of</strong> the labrum<br />

with a reduced, triangular tooth not<br />

overlapping the mentum; mentum with a distinct<br />

tooth not curved into the oral cavity;<br />

antenna 9-segmented; elytron with distinct,<br />

yellow, longitudinal lines on striae 3 and 5;<br />

elytral apices not capable <strong>of</strong> completely covering<br />

the pygidium; apex <strong>of</strong> the elytral suture<br />

without an acute spine; metasternum and<br />

abdominal sternites green or yellow; mesothoracic<br />

process projecting apically to the<br />

procoxa; apical abdominal spiracle not protuberant;<br />

mesotarsomere 5 and metatarsomere<br />

5 with an internomedial tooth; parameres<br />

with the apex rounded, expanded.<br />
