MONOGRAPHIC REVISION OF PLATYCOELIA 135 rated by approximately 3.6 transverse eyewidths. Labrum densely punctate, with moderately large, setose punctures, setae tawny. Apex of labrum with acute, triangular, medial tooth, apex of tooth not overlapping apex of mentum (Fig. 3). Mandibular scissorial region with 2 teeth, molar region with strong lamellae. Maxilla with 3 apical teeth, interior 2 teeth bifurcate. Apex of mentum with medial notch. Antenna 10-segmented; club approximately equal to segments 2-7, approximately equal to clypeal length. Pronotum: Surface glabrous, moderately punctate, with small or moderate punctures. Marginal bead weak laterally, absent elsewhere. Elytron: Surface glabrous; longitudinal striae weakly impressed, weakly punctate; punctures moderate with dark coloration; intervals moderately punctate, punctures moderate. Suture angled apically with weak nub or spine. Pygidium: Width approximately 2.1 times length medially. Surface weakly convex, moderately to densely punctate; punctures small or moderate, setose (near apical margin); setae short, cream colored. Venter: Thorax densely setose (except glabrous medially), setae white. Mesothoracic process strongly produced, projecting anteriorly to procoxa; shape conical-elongate, apex rounded, dorsoventrally flattened (Fig. 9). Abdomen sparsely setose, setae white. Apical 2 spiracles extruding, cylindrical. Legs: Protibia with 3 teeth in apical half; 2 apical teeth subequal in size, third tooth shorter. Mesotibia and metatibia widest medially. Protarsomeres 2-4 wider than long, cup-shaped. Protarsomere 4 with internoapical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 with internomedial stridulatory tooth. Mesotarsomere and metatarsomere 5 without internal 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 (Fig. 14). Modified mesotarsal and metatarsal claws elongated with ventral tooth, not thickened. Male Genitalia: Phallobase approximately 1.1 times longer than length of parameres. Parameres with apex rounded, weakly expanded. Female (n=23). Length 18.3-23.7 mm, width 10.1-12.1 mm. As male except in the following respects. Head: Antennal club slightly shorter than segments 2-7. Venter: Apical spiracles weakly extruding or not extruding. Legs: Protarsomere 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 medial notch; 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 dark brown to black (at least medially); mesothoracic process projecting apically to the procoxa; apical abdominal spiracle weakly protuberant; mesotarsomere 5 and metatarsomere 5 without an internal tooth; parameres with the apex rounded, not expanded.
