Remark
.
Pic (
1921
b)
included the description of
Plateros celebensis
in a key to new species of
Plateros
and
Melampyrus
Waterhouse,
1879
from Asia. The diagnoses are very short and exclusively based exclusively on external characters, and no earlier described species are included in the key. Unfortunately, we were not able to found the
type
specimen in the Pic's collection, and therefore only the original information given by
Pic (
1921
b)
is available. Considering body colouration,
P
.
celebensis
differs from remaining species known from the area. The translation of Pic's original diagnosis follows: "(
18
) Elytra black, prothorax red, sometimes with dark patch. (
21
) Prothorax slightly narrowed frontally, larger, red, with small dark patch before scutellum. Length
7 mm
, Celebes".
