Scolytoplatypus

Genus diagnosis: Body small, dark brown to black, ventral side and legs brown. Antennal club unusually long, 3× longer than funicle, densely covered by very short scale-like setae and fewer much longer fine setae. Frons generally convex, slightly flattened on upper half, rounded below, with a transverse broad impression just above epistoma; surface smooth and shiny on lower half, reticulated and dull above, with small shallow punctures separated by 2–4× their diameter; vestiture of scattered short fine setae mainly in reticulated area. Pronotum 0.9× as long as wide, sides subparallel on anterior half, constricted on posterior half; pronotal vestiture of fine short setae arising from punctures, a few longer setae scattered close to anterior margin; rounded hind corners. Elytra 1.1× longer than wide, 1.3–1.4× longer than pronotum; lacking striae on elytral declivity and disk. Metanepisternum with relatively few fine simple setae. Female with broad protibiae with transverse rows of granules and rugae, an anteromedian mycangial pore on pronotum, and a depressed triangular scutellum.
