Material examined.
Holotype. Male (LMBC, UPOL 001376), Sumatra Barat, Pasaman, Gn. Talamau, 14.-15. Jan. 2005, 1000 m. Paratype. Male (LMBC, UPOL 001375), Sumatra Barat, Pasaman, Gn. Talamau, 14.-15. Jan. 2005, 1000 m.
Diagnosis.
Platerodrilus talamauensis
and
Platerodrilus ranauensis
are closely related (Fig. 1) and they differ in the extent and shape of the orange part of the elytra (Figs 9, 15) and in the shape of posterior margin of phallobase (Figs 52-55).
Description.
Male. Body medium-sized, dark brown to black, only pronotum, mesoscutellum and basal three fifths of elytra orange (Fig. 15). Head small, with eyes slightly wider than frontal margin of pronotum. Eyes hemispherically prominent, eye diameter 2.4 times frontal interocular distance. Antennae compressed, reaching two thirds of elytral length, antennomere 3 0.9 times antennomere 2. Head and antennae densely pubescent. Pronotum transverse, 1.2 wider than long at midline. Anterior margin of pronotum rounded, anterior angles inconspicuous, posterior margin bisinuate (Fig. 29). Elytra with inconspicuous carinae, parallel-sided, 2.9 times longer than width at humeri, widest posteriorly. Legs compressed with dense pubescence. Male genitalia with curved phallus, phallus twice longer than apical processes of parameres, phallobase widely emarginate. (Fig. 52-53).
