Plataphodes Ganglbauer, 1891</p><p>Systematic notes. The Holarctic subg. Plataphodes Ganglbauer, 1891 belongs to the “ Plataphus complex” (Toledano 2008). It includes 37 species, of which 18 Palaearctic, 3 Holarctic and 16 Nearctic. A revision of the subgenus is still pending in order to make clear the systematic relationships of the species. The synapomorphy shared by all the species is the basal elytral margin reaching the apical end of stria 5 and then extended with a transverse, straight prolongation reaching the apical end of stria 4. In the species of the subg. Plataphus Motschulsky, 1864, probably the subgenus more strictly related to Plataphodes, the basal elytral margin ends at the beginning of stria 5, without this transverse prolongation. Otherwise, for remaining external characters both subgenera are very similar to one another. We were able to examine the type of B. elatum Andrewes, 1930 (BMNH), formerly attributed to Plataphodes: actually the basal end of the lateral margin of B. elatum exactly reaches the beginning of stria 5 without prolongation to base of stria 4. Furthermore this species belongs to the group of subgenera with supernumerary abdominal setae (Toledano &amp; Schmidt 2010), and more precisely to Blepharoplataphus Netolitzky, 1920 because it shows supernumerary, short setae in a single row on each of the last abdominal sternites, including the last one (which in Trichoplataphus Netolitzky, 1914 is almost entirely covered by setae).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C15766063C0E3E9DE26353501B753F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

A Plataphodes from Sichuan with very large eyes and three discal pores on each elytron.</p><p>Type locality. Pass 15 Km S of Liziping, Sichuan, China.</p><p>Type series. Holotype, ♂, "C. CHINA Sichuan Prov., Pass 15 km S of Liziping, 20– 21.6.2005, Oto Nakládal leg." (deposited in NMPC); Paratypes: 3♂♂, 3♀♀, same collecting data as the holotype (deposited in CKMC, CONC, CTVR, CRNS).</p><p>Etymology. The name of this species is given in honour of our friend Rudolf Kmeco (Litovel, Czech Republic) who kindly gave us in study the type series.</p><p>Description. Length 4.86 to 5.24 mm, body dark bronze, metallic, with or without greenish reflections, legs and appendages metallic black, except for the last segment of palps, light brown.</p><p>Head with large, extremely convex eyes, frontal furrows parallel, rather short and superficial, mandibles and antennae (Tl/Al = 2.16 to 2.22) rather short.</p><p>Pronotum (Pw/Pl = 1.44 to 1.53; El/Pl = 3.13 to 3.28; Ew/Pw = 1.48 to 1.55) transverse, depressed, gently rounded at sides in the anterior three-quarters, then sinuate at sides before the long (about one-quarter of the whole pronotal length) obtuse hind angles. Basal margin slightly wider than the anterior. Anterior angles markedly rounded, not protruding from anterior margin, basal margin very slightly arcuate at middle and gently oblique laterally, anterior transverse impression evident, median line superficial, basal transverse impression rather deep, rugose, with square, relatively deep, rugose basal foveae. Laterobasal carina present.</p><p>Elytra (El/Ew = 1.42 to 1.47) depressed, with square shoulders and gently rounded sides and apex. Basal elytral margin reaching the basal beginning of stria 5, then extending with the straight portion to the basal beginning of stria 4 typical for the subg. Plataphodes . In few specimens the straight portion is irregular. Elytral striae 1 to 7 complete and deeply sulcate, reaching apex. Scutellar stria long, apical stria connected with stria 5. Three discal elytral pores on each elytron. Anterior and middle ones in the fourth interval, in a fovea interesting intervals 3 and 4 and the median part of the 5; posterior discal pore in the interval 3, in a fovea extending from lateral portion of interval 2 to the median portion of interval 4.</p><p>Legs rather short.</p><p>Metaventral process unbordered.</p><p>Microsculpture. Head and pronotum covered by dense microsculpture in convex, isodiametric sculpticells. Markedly transverse, flat, narrow, irregular and rather superficial sculpticells on the whole elytra, giving a faint iridescence.</p><p>Male genitalia (Fig. 4). Median lobe shorter and with apex more stout than in B. farkaci . Endophallus similar to that of B. farkaci .</p><p>Distribution. China, Sichuan Province, known only from the type locality, where it lives at altitude of about 3400 meters.</p><p>Biology. The specimens were collected on the wet bottom of a sandy stream which at the collecting time was without water. The depth of the stream was from about 2 to 5 metres and its width from about 2 to 10 metres. Around this small valley, showing very steep sandy slopes, was present a relatively intact deciduous forest with natural tree species composition. All big trees were cut down, but the tree species composition was relatively rich.</p><p>Affinities. Sister species of B. farkaci (Figs. 1, 3) with which it forms a group of species characterized by the extreme development of the eyes, a peculiar character shown only by these two species in the whole subgenus. In the other characters, e.g. foveate discal elytral pores, elytral striae sulcate and complete, and, of course, basal margin reaching stria 4 with a straight portion, they are similar to most species of the subgenus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C15766063F0E3B9DE265C9509A71BD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
