Correction of existing generic and species concepts in Platyceroidini (Coleoptera: Lucanidae: Lucaninae) and the description of four new species of Platyceroides Benesh Author Paulsen, M. J. text Zootaxa 2017 4269 3 346 378 journal article 32994 10.11646/zootaxa.4269.3.2 cb56b0e3-1b88-4a89-b478-186e2b30721f 1175-5326 582450 0D7EC140-F88A-49BB-BB62-D2AC8EC6FC1D Platyceroides ( Platyceroides ) potax Paulsen Platyceroides potax Paulsen, 2014 : 1 , original combination. Type series. Holotype male ( CDFA ) labeled: a) “ USA : CA: Butte Co. / Coutolene [sic] Park ; Paradise / 1-JUN- 2006 ; R. Penrose / Ex : EtOH trap in forested area”; b) on red paper, “ Platyceroides / potax Paulsen / HOLOTYPE ”. See Paulsen (2014) for details on the rest of the type series. Remarks. This species was described recently (see Paulsen 2014 , 2015 ). The flagellum of the male genitalia ( Fig. 12 E) is provided for comparison with P. barrae . Since its description, additional locality records have been added ( Fig. 28 ). The first females of P. potax have been examined from Pulga, Butte County, and Challenge, Yuba County, California . They have shagreened pronota, unlike the nearby P. barrae , and lack the thickened clypeus of female P. latus . Also, numerous males have subsequently been collected at traps containing 70% ethanol in Magalia, Butte County (Brady Richards, personal communication).
