as follows. Head: Mandibular scissorial
region with weak apical tooth, no medial tooth;
molar region without lamellae. Maxilla with 2
weak, apical teeth. Male Genitalia: Phallobase
approximately 1.3 times longer than length of
parameres. Parameres with apex rounded.
ETYMOLOGY. Platycoelia inca is named after
the pre-Spanish rulers of the area in

pronotum and pygidium, dark brown elytron;
frons sparsely setose laterally; frontoclypeal
suture complete; apex of the labrum with a
reduced, triangular tooth not overlapping the
mentum; mentum with a medial notch; antenna
9-segmented; pronotum well-separated
from the eyes, sparsely setose, with weak
maculations; elytron without distinct, yellow,
longitudinal lines; elytral apices not capable
of completely covering the pygidium; apex of
the elytral suture without an acute spine;
mesothoracic process nub to weakly projecting
apically; apical abdominal spiracle
strongly protuberant; mesotarsomere 5 and
metatarsomere 5 without an internal tooth;
parameres with the apex rounded, not expanded.
DISTRIBUTION (Fig. 73). Ayacucho, Perú is
the only known locality for this species.
