Description
Adults reach a length of about 6.5–7 mm (0.26–0.28 in). They are very similar to Platychelus discolor, with the only difference to be found in the shape of the clypeus which in the male is straight at apex with the angles sharp and plainly reflexed, while in the female these angles are more rounded than in P. discolor.
