in apical half. Protarsomere 4 without apical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 without internal tooth. Modified protarsal claw elongate, with ventral tooth, not thickened. VARIATION. Male (n=1). Length 23.3-23.5 mm, width 12.9-13.4 mm. Female (n=14). Length 18.9-23.2 mm, width 11.3-13.7 mm (Fig. 44). The paratypes differ from the holotype and allotype in the following respects. Color sometimes yellow to dark yellow. ETYMOLOGY. Platycoelia meridensis is named after the region of Venezuela to which it is endemic. DIAGNOSIS. This species is distinguished from all other species in the genus Platycoelia by the following combination of characters: labrum with a broad, triangular apical tooth strongly overlapping the mentum; antenna 9-segmented; mesothoracic process cylindrical; protibia with 2 prominent teeth; protibial apical tooth acuminate; protarsomere 5 with an internoapical stridulatory tooth; modified mesotarsal claw with a ventral tooth; paramere with apex distinctly expanded.

58 BULLETIN OF THE UNIVERSITYOF NEBRASKA STATE MUSEUM There are a holotype, allotype, and two paratypes in the type series (Martínez and Martínez 1994). Martínez and Martínez (1994) considered that Bolivian and Peruvian specimens that they saw were a different species. My definition of this species is much broader than their ideas and I could find no consistent character states differing between the Argentinian specimens and the specimens from Bolivia and Perú. Martínez and Martínez (1994) erroneously considered these specimens to be P. scutellata (a synonym of P. marginata that does not occur in these countries). Type locality: San Lorenzo, Salta, Argentina. DESCRIPTION. Male (n=132). Length 19.5- 24.3 mm, width 10.7-14.0 mm (Fig. 45). Color of dorsal surface olive green to lime green or yellow (sometimes darkened to brownishgreen or dark yellow); pronotum, scutellum, elytron sometimes with yellow lateral margin; scutellum sometimes yellow. Ventral surface olive green or yellow; metasternum with black to dark brown medial line (sometimes widened); abdominal sternites with apical and basal latitudinal black lines, middle of each sternite olive green. Body ovate, convex. Head: Dorsal surface glabrous. Frons densely punctate, clypeus rugopunctate, punctures moderate. Frons not depressed. Frontoclypeal suture complete. Clypeal apex rounded. Eyes separated by approximately 3.2 transverse eye-widths. Labrum densely punctate, with moderately large, setose punctures, setae tawny. Apex of labrum with triangular, medial tooth, apex of tooth overlapping apex of mentum. Mentum apically with medial tooth curved into oral cavity. Antenna 9-segmented; club approximately equal to other segments combined, slightly longer than frons. Pronotum: Surface glabrous, densely punctate, with small and moderate punctures. Marginal bead weak laterally, absent elsewhere. Elytron: Surface glabrous; longitudinal striae not impressed, punctate; punctures moderate with dark coloration; intervals sparsely punctate, punctures small. Suture apically angled (sometimes with weak, posteriorly projecting nub). Pygidium: Width approximately 2.1 times length medially. Surface convex, sparsely to moderately punctate; punctures moderately large to moderate, setose (near apex); setae short, tawny. Venter: Thorax moderately setose (glabrous medially), setae tawny. Mesothoracic process projecting anteriorly just basal to procoxa; shape conical, dorsoventrally flattened. Abdomen sparsely setose to glabrous. Apical spiracles not extruding. Legs: Protibia with 1 apical tooth (second and third weak teeth sometimes visible). Mesotibia and metatibia widest medially. Protarsomeres 2-4 wider than long, cup-shaped. Protarsomere 3-4 with internoapical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 with internomedial, stridulatory tooth. Mesotarsomere and metatarsomere 5 with internomedial tooth. Unguitractor plate cylindrical, with 2 apical setae. Modified protarsal claw approximately equal in length to protarsomere 5, thickened and elongate when compared with other claw, diagonally flattened, apex unevenly bifurcate. Modified mesotarsal claw weakly thickened and elongate when compared with other claw, diagonally flattened, apex unevenly bifurcate. Modified metatarsal claw elongate, with ventral tooth, not thickened. Male Genitalia: Phallobase approximately 1.1 times longer than length of parameres. Parameres with apex rounded, setose, expanded. Female (n=199). Length 21.2-28.9 mm, width 12.2-15.1 mm. As male except in the following respects. Legs: Protibia with 3 distinct teeth in apical half. Protarsomere 3-4 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 of characters: labrum with a broad, triangular apical tooth strongly overlapping the mentum; antenna 9segmented; mesothoracic process cylindrical; metasternum with a brown to black medial patch; abdominal sternites with dark apical and basal borders; protibia with 1 prominent tooth; protibial apical tooth acuminate; protarsomere 5 with an internoapical stridulatory tooth; modified mesotarsal claw with the apex bifurcate, dorsoventrally flattened; paramere with apex distinctly expanded.
