Diagnosis:
Males of
Platocoelotes
are similar to that of
Femoracoelotes
,
Leptocoelotes
and
Spiricoelotes
in lacking median apophysis, but can be distinguished from
Femoracoelotes
by lacking femoral apophysis, and from
Leptocoelotes
and
Spiricoelotes
by the presence of conductor dorsal apophysis. Males of
Platocoelotes
can also be distinguished from any other Coelotinae genera by the presence of ventral conductor apophysis (
Figs 1B–C
,
2B–C
,

,
4C–D
). Females can be distinguished by a combination of the following characters: epigynal teeth absent, epigynal hood distinct, atrium shallow and broad (
