Erichson (1847) did not state how many specimens were in the type series. The existence and location <strong>of</strong> paralectotypes are unknown. Type locality: Perú. DESCRIPTION. Male (n=8). Length 19.5- 20.7 mm, width 12.0-12.6 mm. Color olive green or yellow; elytral intervals 3 and 5 with light green, longitudinal stripe; head, pronotum, scutellum, elytron with yellow lateral margin. Body ovate, strongly convex. Head: Dorsal surface glabrous. Frons rugopunctate, clypeus rugose, punctures moderate. Frons not depressed. Frontoclypeal suture complete. Clypeal apex rounded. Eyes separated by approximately <strong>4.5</strong> transverse eye-widths. Labrum densely punctate, with moderately large, setose punctures, setae tawny. Apex <strong>of</strong> labrum with triangular, medial tooth, apex <strong>of</strong> tooth overlapping apex <strong>of</strong> mentum. Mandibular scissorial region with 2 teeth, molar region with strong lamellae. Maxilla with 3 cup-shaped teeth. Mentum with apicomedial tooth curved into oral cavity. Antenna 9-segmented; club slightly shorter than other segments combined, slightly shorter than length <strong>of</strong> frons. Pronotum: Surface glabrous, moderately to densely punctate, with small and moderate punctures. Marginal bead weak laterally, absent elsewhere. Elytron: Surface glabrous; longitudinal striae weakly impressed, punctate; punctures moderate with dark coloration; intervals sparsely punctate, punctures small. Suture apically with weak spine (sometimes worn down). Pygidium: Width approximately 2.1 times length medially. Surface weakly convex, densely punctate; punctures moderately large to moderate, setose (near apex); setae short, tawny. Venter: Thorax moderately setose, setae cream colored. Mesothoracic process projecting anteriorly to procoxa; shape conical, dorsoventrally flattened. Abdomen glabrous. Apical spiracles not extruding. Legs: Protibia with 3 teeth in apical half; 2 apical teeth subequal in size, third tooth small. Mesotibia and metatibia widest medially. Protarsomeres 2-4 wider than long, cupshaped. Protarsomere 4 with internoapical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 with internomedial, stridulatory tooth. Mesotar- MONOGRAPHIC REVISION OF PLATYCOELIA 43 somere and metatarsomere 5 with internomedial tooth. Unguitractor plate cylindrical, with 2 apical setae. Modified protarsal claw slightly shorter than protarsomere 5, thickened and elongate when compared with other claw, diagonally flattened, apex unevenly bifurcate (Fig. 11). Modified mesotarsal and metatarsal claw elongate, with ventral tooth, not thickened. Male Genitalia: Phallobase approximately 1.9 times longer than length <strong>of</strong> parameres. Parameres with apex rounded, setose, expanded (Fig. 25). Female (n=12). Length 20.5-23.6 mm, width 12.2-13.9 mm. As male except in the following respects. Legs: Protarsomere 4 without internoapical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 without internal tooth. Modified protarsal and mesotarsal claw with ventral tooth, not thickened. DIAGNOSIS. This species is distinguished from all other species in the genus Platycoelia by the following combination <strong>of</strong> characters: labrum with a broad, triangular apical tooth strongly overlapping the mentum; antenna 9segmented; elytral striae 3 and 5 with distinct yellow coloration; mesothoracic process conical; protibial apical tooth acuminate; protarsomere 5 with an internoapical stridulatory tooth; modified protarsal claw diagonally flattened; modified mesotarsal claw with a ventral tooth; parameres at apex distinctly expanded.
