80 BULLETIN OF THE UNIVERSITYOF NEBRASKA STATE MUSEUM DIAGNOSIS. This species is distinguished from all other species in the genus Platycoelia by the following combination <strong>of</strong> characters: frontoclypeal suture complete; labrum with a well-developed, truncate apical tooth strongly overlapping the mentum; mentum with a distinct tooth curved into the oral cavity; antenna 10-segmented; antennal club shorter in length than other segments combined, shorter than clypeal length; elytron with a distinct yellow suture; elytral apices not capable <strong>of</strong> completely covering the pygidium; protibia in males with 2 prominent teeth; protibial spur noticeably shorter than the adjacent tibial apex; mesotarsomere 4 and metatarsomere 4 in males without an apical stridulatory ridge; protarsomere 5 in males with an internal stridulatory patch, without an internal tooth; mesotarsomere 5 and metatarsomere 5 with an internobasal tooth; parameres with the apex dorsoventrally flattened, expanded. DISTRIBUTION (Fig. 52). Northern Perú to central Bolivia in the puno and yungas regions <strong>of</strong> the Andes Mountains.
