According to the description of Dworakowska, the genus  Platfusa has body proportions resembling those of  Aruena Anufriev and wing venation as in  Igutettix Matsumura (Dworakowska 1993). Through specimen observation, we found that the face of  Aruena is slightly concave, while the face of  Igutettix is prominent. Ohara and Hayashi (2022) also observed that specimens of  Igutettix had the frontoclypeus swollen and the antennal ledge developed. In this regard, the three genera are completely different. The main characters distinguishing  Platfusa are the slightly convex face, pygofer with dorsal appendage and macroseta at or near base of appendage, subgenital plates fused to each other (except in  P. semena sp. nov.), petal-shaped and partly enclosing pygofer.</p><p>Type species:  Platfusa arooni Dworakowska, 1993 (type locality: India).</p><p>Distribution.

Aedeagus (Fig. 3L, M) shorter than style, shaft short and curved, with a pair of auricular processes on ventral margin, and a long, apically-forked process protruding from the uneven dorsal margin of the shaft. Dorsal apodeme well developed. Gonopore apical.</p><p>Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word semen (seed), referring to the aedeagal processes which look like a sprouting seed from dorsal view.</p><p>Remarks. This species is similar to the other new species,  P. lepus, but it differs in having the ventral aedeagal processes arising near the shaft apex. This new species is not typical of the genus  Platfusa, because its subgenital plates are separated, rather than fused at base. However, we have chosen to place it in this genus for the following reasons. First, its overall appearance is more consistent with the characteristics of  Platfusa, body stout, similar patterns on the forewings and veins on the hindwings. The face is neither very prominent nor flat, but slightly protruding. Second, all specimens have a pygofer appendage and the subgenital plate surpassing the pygofer.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9F1D2B7A4C3A7F098EB2FC44FAA72FAB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
