Abstract
Platymetopius cebifurcatus, a new species belonging to undatus-group, is described. His fundamental features lies in the shape of the aedeagus and the lamelliform expansions of the pygofer appendages. P. cebifurcatus is probably a polyphagous taxon, living in Italian Peninsula, Sicily and France (Alpes Maritimes). Adults were collected in various environments from 600 to 1800m, on herbaceous vegetation and trees. Some of the specimens of P. cebifurcatus n. sp. were identified (and published) by Servadei (1967; 1968) under the name P. henribauti Dlabola. Actually no specimens of the Servadei’s collection belong to P. henribauti Dlabola. This species (if it is a proper species and not only a synonym of P. undatus De Geer) has to be excluded from the Italian Fauna.
