MONOGRAPHIC REVISION OF PLATYCOELIA 151 Fig. 71. Distribution of Platycoelia gaujoni, P. pusilla, P. bordoni, and P. parva in Colombia, Ecuador, and Perú. club longer than the other segments combined; elytral apices not capable of completely covering the pygidium; apex of the elytral suture without an acute spine; metasternum with a dark medial patch; abdominal sternites green to yellow; mesothoracic process projecting apically past mesocoxa; apical abdominal spiracle strongly protuberant; mesotarsomere 5 and metatarsomere 5 without an internal tooth; parameres with the apex rounded, not expanded. DISTRIBUTION (Fig. 71). Occurs in the Andes Mountains of central and southern Ecuador. BIOLOGY. Ohaus (1908, 1909a) recorded observations of P. gaujoni larvae from Loja, Ecuador. He stated that the larvae were found under fallen logs and that they feed on the organic matter in the soil.

Platycoelia spec. prope chrysotina, mihi ignota,” and “Dr Ohaus Vidit 1903.” Type locality: Manizales, Caldas, Colombia. HOLOTYPE. Male: length 16.7 mm, width 8.3 mm. Color of dorsal surface olive green; pronotum, scutellum, and elytron margins yellow; elytral intervals 3 and 5 with weak, yellowish-green longitudinal stripes. Ventral surface yellow to light green, metasternum olive green with large medial brown patch. Body ovate, convex. Head: Dorsal surface glabrous. Frons densely punctate, clypeus rugopunctate. Frons not depressed. Frontoclypeal suture complete. Clypeal apex broadly rounded. Eyes separated by approximately 5.3 transverse eye-widths. Labrum moderately punctate, with moderately large, setose punctures, setae tawny. Apex of labrum with weak, triangular, medial tooth, apex of tooth well separated from apex of mentum. Apex of mentum with medial notch. Antenna 9-segmented; club slightly shorter than segments 2-6, slightly shorter than frons. Pronotum: Surface glabrous, moderately to densely punctate, with moderate punctures. Marginal bead weak laterally, absent apically and basally. Elytron: Surface glabrous; longitudinal striae weakly impressed, weakly punctate; punctures moderate; intervals sparsely punctate. Sutural apex angled, without spine. Pygidium: Width approximately 1.8 times length medially. Surface weakly convex, sparsely punctate; punctures moderate, setose (along apical margin); setae tawny. Venter: Thorax moderately setose (sparsely setose medially), setae tawny. Mesothoracic process weakly projecting anteriorly past mesocoxa; shape conical. Abdomen sparsely setose, setae tawny. Apical spiracles extruding, cylindrical. Legs: Protibia with 3 subequal in size teeth in apical half. Mesotibia and metatibia widest apically. Protarsomeres 2-4 wider than long, cup-shaped. Protarsomere 4 with weak, apical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 with internomedial tooth. Mesotarsomere and metatarsomere 5 without internal swelling. Prounguitractor plate cylindrical, with 2 subapical setae. Mesounguitractor plate, metaunguitractor plate cylindrical; with 1 apical, 1 subapical seta. Modified protarsal claw with length approximately equal to protarsomere 5, greatly thickened and elongate when compared with other claw, dorsoventrally flattened, apex unevenly bifurcate. Modified mesotarsal and metatarsal claw elongate, with weak ventral tooth, not thickened.
