Abstract

The Sulawesi species of the genus Plateros Bourgeois, 1879 are reviewed, with descriptions of seven new species (Plateros kalamensis sp. n., P. lalui sp. n., P. mamasensis sp. n., P. milenae sp. n., P. orobuensis sp. n., P. rubromamasensis sp. n., and P. tanatorajensis sp. n.), proposal of a new name P. toliensis nom. n. for P. diversithorax (Pic, 1921:3 nec Pic, 1921:2), and redescriptions of P. toliensis nom. n. and P. flavidus Kleine, 1933. Ecology and relationships of Plateros species from Sulawesi are discussed briefly. Male genitalia and important external characters are illustrated and all known species are keyed.
