Illustration of the overall morphology in male genitalia in lateral view for the subgenera of Platyceroides Benesh, with parameres indicated in black. 1 A, Platyceropsis Benesh, flagellum reduced to a short hook, paramera simple; 1 B, Praocerus, flagellum basally membranous (white) with distal sclerotized process, parameres emarginate; 1 C, Platyceroides nominal subgenus, long sclerotized flagellum, parameres complex and folded.";
