gins. Ventrally with dark brown metasternum and abdominal sternites. Body ovate, strongly convex. Head: Dorsal surface glabrous. Frons densely punctate, clypeus rugopunctate, punctures small or moderate. Frons not depressed. Frontoclypeal suture incomplete, absent medially. Clypeal apex broadly rounded. Eyes separated by approximately 3.4 transverse eye-widths. Labrum sparsely punctate, with moderately large, setose punctures, setae tawny. Apex of labrum with triangular, medial tooth; apex of tooth broadly truncate, extending past apex of mentum. Apex of mentum with triangular medial tooth curved into oral cavity. Antenna 10-segmented; club approximately equal to other segments combined, slightly shorter than length of frons. Pronotum: Surface glabrous, densely punctate, with small or moderate punctures. Marginal bead weak apicolaterally, absent elsewhere. Elytron: Surface glabrous; longitudinal striae weakly punctate, punctures moderate with dark coloration; intervals densely punctate, punctures small. Suture angled apically, without spine. Pygidium: Width approximately 2.6 times length medially. Surface weakly convex, densely punctate; punctures small or moderate, setose; setae short, cream colored. Venter: Thorax densely setose (except glabrous medially), setae white. Mesothoracic process strongly produced, projecting anteriorly past protrochanter; shape conical-elongate, apex rounded, ventrally flattened. Abdomen sparsely setose, setae white. Apical spiracles not extruding. Legs: Protibia with 2 teeth in apical quarter. Mesotibia and metatibia widest medially. Protarsomeres 2-4 wider than long, cup-shaped. Protarsomere 3-4 with internoapical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 with internobasal stridulatory tooth. Mesotarsomere and metatarsomere 5 with internobasal tooth or swelling. Unguitractor plate cylindrical, with 2 apical setae. Modified protarsal claw with length greater than protarsomere 5, thickened and elongate when compared with other claw, laterally flattened, apex unevenly bifurcate. Modified mesotarsal and metatarsal claws elongated with ventral tooth, not thickened. Male Genitalia: Phallobase 1.5 times longer than length of MONOGRAPHIC REVISION OF PLATYCOELIA 89 parameres. Parameres dorsoventrally flattened, apicomedially acute. ALLOTYPE. Female: length 26.1 mm, width 14.8 mm. As male except in the following respects. Head: Antennal club approximately equal to segments 2-7. Legs: Protibia with 3 teeth in apical half, third tooth shorter. Protarsomere 3-4 without internoapical stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 without internal tooth. Modified protarsal claw with ventral tooth, not thickened. VARIATION. Male (n=40). Length 23.7-26.7 mm, width 13.8-16.0 mm. Female (n=18). Length 28.2-31.4 mm, width 16.2-17.9 mm. Paratypes similar to holotype and allotype except in the following respects. Color of body sometimes dark green or brownish-green. Ventrally with black to reddish-brown metasternum and abdominal sternites (sometimes green along lateral edge). ETYMOLOGY. Platycoelia galerana is named after the Cordillera Galeras, the region of the eastern Andes Mountains where much of the type series was collected. DIAGNOSIS. This species is distinguished from all other species in the genus Platycoelia by the following combination of characters: frontoclypeal suture incomplete; 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, club length greater than other segments combined; pronotum surface densely punctate with a mix of small and moderate punctures; scutellum disc usually green; elytron with well-defined, yellow, longitudinal lines on striae 3 and 5; elytral apices capable of completely covering the pygidium; pygidium entirely setose; metasternum black (at least medially); abdominal sternites dark; protibial spur noticeably shorter than the adjacent tibial apex; mesotarsomere 4 and metatarsomere 4 in males with an apical stridulatory ridge; mesotarsomere 5 and metatarsomere 5 with an internobasal tooth; parameres with the apex dorsoventrally flattened.
