Figs 4, 22, 40, 46-47 Material examined. Holotype. Male (LMBC, UPOL 000589), Borneo, Central Kalimantan Prov., 60 km SE Muara Teweh, 1°20'25"S , 115°20'16"E , 24.-28. Jun. 2001, 150 m. Paratypes. 12 females, same locality data (LMBC, UPOL 000588). Diagnosis. Platerodrilus foliaceus belongs to the Platerodrilus paradoxus group and the male resembles Platerodrilus paradoxus in general appearance. Platerodrilus foliaceus differs in the rounded apex of parameres (Figs 46-47). The female larvae of Platerodrilus foliaceus are very flat and have much slenderer lateral processes of abdominal segments than Platerodrilus paradoxus (Figs 34, 40). Description. Male. Body small-sized, brown, head, antennae, legs except bases of femora and apical three fifths of elytra dark brown (Fig. 4). Head small, with hemispherically prominent eyes, head with eyes slightly wider than frontal margin of pronotum, eye diameter 1.7 times frontal interocular distance. Antennae compressed, covered with long, erected, dense pubescence, length of antennomere 3 0.7 times antennomere 2. Pronotum flat, without carinae, 1.7 times wider than long at midline, frontal margin slightly projected anteriorly, frontal angles obtuse, but apparent, lateral margins rounded, posterior margin slightly bisinuate (Fig. 22). Elytra flat, parallel-sided, elytral costae inconspicuous, elytra 2.9 times longer than width at humeri. Legs slender, compressed, densely pubescent. Male genitalia with robust parameres, phallus slightly curved with bulbous tip. Parameres stout with hooked tip, apical half of ventral edge serrate. Phallobase wide, deeply emarginate (Figs 46-47). Female larva. Body extremely flat and wide (Fig. 40), pronotum triangular, without any glabrous tubercles, in middle of anterior margin four subequal tubercles; mesothorax strongly transverse, with rounded lateral margins and moderately projected posterior angles, metathorax similar in shape with more acutely projected posterior margins. Abdomen with very slender and long lateral processes. Measurements. Male. BL 6.0 mm, PL 0.9 mm, PW 1.5 mm, HW 1.7 mm, Edist 0.78 mm, Ediam 0.46 mm. Larva. BL 19.3 mm, PL 5.1 mm, PW 11.2 mm. Distribution. Indonesia: Kalimantan. Known only from the type locality. Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the flat body shape of the female larva. Remark. The males and female larvae were identified as conspecific on the basis of highly similar sequences of rrnL (Fig. 1).
