MONOGRAPHIC REVISION OF PLATYCOELIA 153 VARIATION. Male (n=11). Length 15.2-19.5 mm, width 8.4-10.2 mm. Female: unknown. The paratypes differ from the holotype in the following respects. Color sometimes yellow. Head: Antenna sometimes appearing 10-segmented. Additional characters as follows. Head: Mandibular scissorial region with two teeth, molar region with weakly developed lamellae. Maxilla with 3 apical teeth, middle tooth bifurcate. Male Genitalia: Phallobase approximately 1.5 times longer than length of parameres. Paramere with apex rounded. ETYMOLOGY. Platycoelia pusilla is derived from Latin meaning “the tiny Platycoelia.” DIAGNOSIS. This species is distinguished from all other species in the genus Platycoelia by the following combination of characters: length less than 20 mm; frons not depressed medioapically; frontoclypeal suture complete; apex of the labrum with a reduced, triangular tooth not overlapping the mentum; mentum with a medial notch; antenna 9-segmented (sometimes appearing 10-segmented), club not longer than 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 the 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). Known from the Andes Mountains of central to southern Colombia. LOCALITY DATA. 12 specimens examined from MNHN, SMFD, USNM, ZMHB. COLOMBIA (12). CALDAS (1): Manizales.

Martínez (1976) based his description on the holotype and one paratype. Type locality: Volcán Puracé, Huila, Colombia. DESCRIPTION. Male (n=4). Length 19.4- 21.2 mm, width 10.8-11.8 mm. Color olive green or brownish-yellow; elytral intervals 3 and 5 sometimes with weak, yellow, longitudinal stripe; elytron with yellow margin; metasternum with medial, light brown patch; abdominal sternites olive green to brownishyellow. Body ovate, convex. Head: Dorsal surface glabrous. Frons rugopunctate, clypeus rugose, punctures moderate. Frons not depressed. Frontoclypeal suture complete. Clypeal apex broadly rounded. Eyes separated by approximately 3.8 transverse eye-widths.
154 BULLETIN OF THE UNIVERSITYOF NEBRASKA STATE MUSEUM Labrum densely punctate, with moderately large, setose punctures, setae tawny. Apex of labrum with triangular, medial tooth, apex of tooth well separated from apex of mentum. Mentum with apicomedial notch. Antenna 9segmented or 10-segmented; club slightly longer than segments 2-7 (2-6 in 9-segmented individuals), slightly longer than length of frons. Pronotum: Surface glabrous, moderately punctate, with moderate punctures. Marginal bead weak laterally, absent elsewhere. Elytron: Surface glabrous; longitudinal striae weakly impressed, punctate; punctures moderate; intervals sparsely punctate, punctures small. Suture apically angled, without spine. Pygidium: Width approximately 1.9 times length medially. Surface weakly convex, sparsely punctate (near apex); punctures moderately large, setose; setae short, tawny. Venter: Thorax densely setose (except sparsely setose medially), setae tawny. Mesothoracic process weakly produced, projecting anteriorly weakly past mesocoxa; shape conical. Abdomen sparsely setose, setae tawny. Apical 2 spiracles extruding, cylindrical. Legs: Protibia with 3 subequal in size teeth in apical half. Mesotibia and metatibia widest medially. Protarsomeres 2-4 wider than long, cupshaped. Protarsomere 4 with internoapical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 with internomedial tooth. Mesotarsomere and metatarsomere 5 without internal tooth or swelling. Unguitractor plate cylindrical; with 1 apical, 1 subapical seta. 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 1.4 times longer than length of phallobase. Parameres with apex rounded. Female: unknown. DIAGNOSIS. This species is distinguished from all other species in the genus Platycoelia by the following combination of characters: length greater than 19 mm; frons depressed medioapically; frontoclypeal suture complete; apex of the labrum with a reduced, triangular tooth not overlapping mentum; mentum with a medial notch; antenna 9-segmented or 10-segmented, club not longer than other segments combined; elytral apices not capable of completely covering the pygidium; apex of the elytral suture without an acute spine; metasternum moderately setose, with a dark medial patch; abdominal sternites green to yellow; mesothoracic process projecting apically past the mesocoxa; apical abdominal spiracle strongly protuberant; mesotarsomere 5 and metatarsomere 5 without an internal tooth; parameres with the apex rounded, not expanded.
