( Figs 31 , 163 , 357 ) Holotype : ♀ . Type locality: PERU : Madre de Dios ; Rio Tambopata Res. , 30 air km. SW Pto. Maldonado , 290 m . , 16-20 XI-1979 , J. B. Heppner , subtropical moist forest ( FSCA ) . D i a g n o s i s: The available member of this species is superficially similar to specimens of Platynoptera similis OPITZ from which it differs by showing a narrow testaceous line between two broad black lines on the pronotal disc. The genus Platynoptera SPINOLA was revised by OPITZ (2015b) . D e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 11.5 mm ; width 4.5 mm . Form: As in Fig. 357 . Color: Cranium bicolorous, clypeus and venter testaceous; frons and epicranium black except epicranium with narrow testaceous line at middle; antenna black; pronotal disc with two broad black vitta between which is narrow testaceous line, pronotal sides broadly testaceous, lower sides brown; pterothorax testaceous; elytra bicolorous, with broad testaceous marking extended posteriorly from humeral angle, with testaceous fascia at discal middle that expands from epipleural to sutural margin; legs mostly brown, basal 1/2 of femora testaceous; abdomen bicolorous, testaceous and brown. Head: Eyes large, coarsely facetted, eye slightly wider than frons (EW/FW 43/40); funicular antennomeres ( Fig. 31 ) transverse and very setose; capitular antennomeres 9 and 10 long rectangulate, antennomere 11 oblong ovate. Thorax: Pronotum ( Fig. 163 ) transverse; pronotal tubercles shallow (PW/PL 150/120), disc finely punctate; elytral asetiferous punctures minute and profusely distributed, elytra notably flared in posterior 1/2 (EL/EW 550/160). Abdomen: Pygidium scutiform. N a t u r a l H i s t o r y: The holotype was collected during November, at 290 m . D i s t r i b u t i o n: ThisspeciesisknownfromPeru. E t y m o l o g y: The trivial name, atrafinus , is a Latin compound name that stems from atra (= black) and finis (= end); with regard to the black coloration at the distal 1/3 of the elytal disc.
