Ohaus (1904b) did not state how many specimens were in the original type series. Ohaus also examined specimens from “Manizales (Steinheil)” and “Ecuador, Sara-yacu (Buckley)” but I was unable to locate these paralectotypes. The existence and location of additional remaining paralectotypes are unknown. One specimen labeled “COLUMBIA S.d.Popayan” also has Ohaus’ orange cotype label. Since this locality was not mentioned in the original description, the specimen is not part of the type series. Type locality: Frontino, Antioquia, Colombia. DESCRIPTION. Male (n=18). Length 21.3- 23.0 mm, width 11.2-13.6 mm. Color olive green or brownish-yellow; elytral interval 2, 4, and 6 with yellow, longitudinal stripe; head, pronotum, scutellum, and elytron with yellow margin. Body ovate, convex. Head: Dorsal surface glabrous. Frons rugopunctate, clypeus rugose, punctures moderate. Frons not depressed. Frontoclypeal suture complete. Clypeal apex rounded. Eyes separated by approximately 4.1 transverse eye-widths. Labrum sparsely punctate, with moderately large, setose punctures, setae tawny. Apex of labrum with triangular, medial tooth, apex of tooth separated from apex of mentum. Mandibular scissorial region with 2 teeth, molar region with strong lamellae. Maxilla with 3 teeth. Mentum with apicomedial notch. Antenna 10-segmented (often appearing 9-segmented); club approximately equal to segments 2-7 (2-6 in apparently 9-segmented individuals), slightly longer than length of frons. Pronotum: Surface glabrous, moderately punctate, with small and moderate punctures. Marginal bead weak laterally, absent elsewhere. Elytron: Surface glabrous; longitudinal striae impressed, punctate; punctures moderate; intervals moderately punctate, punctures small. Suture apically with weak spine or nub. Pygidium: Width approximately 1.5 times length medially. Surface weakly convex, densely punctate to rugopunctate; punctures moderately large, setose (near apex); setae short, tawny. Venter: Thorax moderately setose (except sparsely setose medially), setae tawny. Mesothoracic process moderately produced, projecting anteriorly past mesocoxa; shape conical; ventrally flattened. Abdomen sparsely setose, setae tawny. Apical spiracles not extruding. Legs: Protibia with 3 subequal in size teeth in apical half. Mesotibia and metatibia widest medially. Protarsomeres 2-4 wider than long, cup-shaped. Protarsomere 3-4 with internoapical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 with internomedial, stridulatory tooth. Mesotarsomere and metatarsomere 5 with internobasal tooth or swelling. Unguitractor plate cylindrical, with 2 apical setae. Modified protarsal 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 approximately 1.1 times longer than length of phallobase. Parameres with apex rounded. Female (n=22). Length 23.4-27.8 mm, width 12.5-15.3 mm. As male except in the following respects. 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 reduced, triangular tooth not overlapping the mentum; mentum with a medial notch; elytron with distinct, yellow, longitudinal lines on striae 3 and 5; elytral apices not capable of completely covering the pygidium; metasternum and abdominal sternites green or yellow; mesothoracic process
