Comments. Buenoa platycnemis has a wide distribution with great color variation, and is similar to B. pallipes. The rostral prong of each species originates laterally on the distal region of the third rostral segment and is distinctly longer than this segment (Fig. 38, 43). The rostral prong of B. platycnemis protrudes anteriorly at basally; such a projection does not occur in B. pallipes. According to Truxal (1953), B. platycnemis differs from B. pallipes because of the larger frons, the pronotum shorter with its posterior margin more truncate medially, and a slight differences in the fore femur and rostral prong.
