Type species:  Platypatrobus lacustrisDarlington, 1938 by original designation. Etymology. From the Greek platys(broad, wide, flat) and the generic name  Patrobus[ q.v.], alluding to the body shape of adults ("form ... rather broad, depressed") of the  Patrobus-like species [masculine].  Diversity. One species in boreal and northern temperate regions of North America.  Identification. Bousquet and Grebennikov (1999) redescribed the species and illustrated the male and female genitalia.  Taxonomic Note. With the exception of accessory setae on the pronotum, elytra, and mesosternum, this species is structurally very similar to those of  Patrobusand possibly simply represents an offspring of  Patrobus. The larva does not differ significantly from those of  Patrobus(Bousquet and Grebennikov 1999).
