This locality is far out <strong>of</strong> the known range <strong>of</strong> the genus Platycoelia. TEMPORAL DATA. January (3), February (40), March (1), May (1), August (1), September (1), October (9), November (11). 48. Platycoelia furva new species (Fig. 72) TYPE SPECIMENS. Male holotype, female allotype and 2 male paratypes. Holotype male and allotype female at QCAZ and one male paratype at ABTS labeled “ECUADOR XII-86 BOLÍVAR TOTORAS Legit L. COLOMA.” One male paratype at UNSM labeled “ECUA- DOR XI/86 BOLÍVAR TOTORAS Legit L. COLOMA.” Type locality: Cashca Totoras, Azuay, Ecuador. HOLOTYPE. Male: length 21.8 mm, width 11.9 mm. Color <strong>of</strong> dorsal surface yellowishgreen; dark brown maculations on frons, pronotum, and covering most <strong>of</strong> elytron (especially apically, laterally). Ventral surface black. Body ovate, convex. Head: Dorsal surface glabrous. Frons rugopunctate, clypeus rugose. Frons not depressed. Frontoclypeal suture complete. Clypeal apex broadly rounded. Eyes separated by approximately 2.9 transverse eye-widths. Labrum densely punctate, with moderately large, setose punctures, setae reddish-brown. Apex <strong>of</strong> labrum with triangular, medial tooth, apex <strong>of</strong> tooth well separated from apex <strong>of</strong> mentum. Apex <strong>of</strong> mentum with medial notch. Antenna 10-segmented; club approximately equal to segments 2-7, slightly longer than clypeus. Pronotum: Surface glabrous, densely punctate, with small and moderate punctures. Marginal bead weak laterally, absent apically and basally. Elytron: Surface glabrous; longitudinal striae weakly impressed, punctate, punctures moderate. Sutural apex angled, without spine. Pygidium: Width approximately 1.7 times length medially. Surface con- vex; disc with base impunctate, apex sparsely punctate, punctures moderate, setose (near apex); setae long, reddish-brown. Venter: Thorax densely setose, setae reddish-brown. Mesothoracic process weakly projecting anteriorly past mesocoxa; shape conical, apex rounded. Abdomen sparsely setose, setae reddish-brown. Apical spiracles not extruding. Legs: Protibia with 3 teeth in apical half; apical 2 teeth subequal in size, third tooth obsolete. Mesotibia and metatibia widest apically. Protarsomeres 2-4 wider than long, cupshaped. Protarsomere 4 with weak, apical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 with internal stridulatory surface. Mesotarsomere and metatarsomere 5 without internal swelling. Unguitractor plate cylindrical, with 2 apical setae. 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. Male Genitalia: Phallobase approximately 1.4 times longer than length <strong>of</strong> parameres. Paramere with apex rounded. ALLOTYPE. Female: length 25.7 mm, width 15.0 mm. As holotype except in the following respects. Color <strong>of</strong> elytron almost entirely dark brown. Legs: Protibia with 3 distinct teeth in apical half. Protarsomeres unknown (missing from this specimen). VARIATION. Male (n=2). Length 23.3-23.5 mm, width 12.9-13.4 mm. Female: known only from allotype. The paratypes to not differ significantly from the holotype. ETYMOLOGY. Platycoelia furva means “the dark-colored Platycoelia” referring to the appearance <strong>of</strong> this species. DIAGNOSIS. This species is distinguished from all other species in the genus Platycoelia by the following combination <strong>of</strong> characters: color mainly dark brown to black; frontoclypeal suture complete; apex <strong>of</strong> the labrum with a reduced, triangular tooth not overlapping
