Genus Platymorpha Jacoby, 1888

Platymorpha Jacoby, 1888: 602 (type species Platymorpha variegata Jacoby, 1888, by original designation).

Remarks

This genus includes three described species. They occur in Mexico and Central America. See Figs 106, 176, and 177 for habitus illustrations and morphological details. The preapical notch of the male middle tibia, characteristic of the section Phyllecthrites, is very small or absent in some species of this genus. The following key enables correct identification, whether or not the notch is interpreted to be present. Chthoneis smaragdipennis Jacoby, 1888, formerly included in Platymorpha, is herein transferred to Trachyelytron gen. nov.
