Genus Platycesta Viswajyothi & Clark, 2021

Platycesta Viswajyothi & Clark, 2021b: 474

(type species Monocesta depressa Clark, 1865, by original designation).

Remarks

This genus includes just one described species, P. depressa (Clark, 1865), which is distributed in Central America and northwestern South America. Although it has been reported from the United States (Kim et al. 2003), this was surely in error. See Figs 2 and 152 for a habitus illustration and details of morphology.
