            <p>See Phengsi et al. (2018).</p>
            <p>Habitat.</p>
            <p> Platythyrea clypeata occurs in the lowlands (200-300 m alt.) and inhabits primary dry evergreen forest and disturbed forests. All colonies of this species were collected from dead wood on the forest floor in an advanced stage of decomposition. </p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Laos (Vientiane), and Thailand (Chachoengsao, Sa Kaeo, Chanthaburi, and Nakhon Nayok provinces) (Fig. 6).</p>
            <p>Comparative notes.</p>
            <p> Platythyrea clypeata is similar to  P. gracillima ,  P. janyai , and  P. prizo . However,  P. clypeata can be easily separated from  P. gracillima by the following characteristics (characters of  P. gracillima in parentheses unless otherwise stated): 1) body size smaller (TL = 5.74-6.20 in  P. clypeata ; TL = 9 mm in  P. gracillima ); 2) eye smaller and flat (0.1 mm long in  P. clypeata ; 0.3 mm long and convex in  P. gracillima ); 3) clypeus narrow and rather convex (clypeus broad and rather flat); 4) declivity of propodeum concave (propodeal declivity flat); 5) seen from back propodeal declivity rounded above (propodeal declivity concave above); 6) petiole laterally swollen (petiole laterally compressed); 7) head finely punctate (head rather smooth). </p>
            <p> Platythyrea clypeata can be distinguished from  P. prizo by the following characteristics (characters of  P. prizo in parentheses unless otherwise stated): 1) head shorter (CI = 61-69 in  P. clypeata ; CI = 70-72 in  P. prizo ); 2) eye flat and small (0.1 long mm in  P. clypeata ; eye very large, 0.31 long mm  P. prizo ); 3) eye without erect pubescence (eye covered with extremely fine short erect pubescence); 4) propodeum junction obtusely angulated (propodeum junction armed with a pair of short teeth or tubercles); 5) in profile, posterodorsal corner of petiole forming an acute angle (roundly convex). </p>
            <p> Lastly, this species is separated from  P. janyai (characters of  P. janyai in parentheses unless otherwise stated) by 1) head relatively longer (CI 61-69 in  P. clypeata ; CI 72-74 in  P. janyai ); 2) eye clearly smaller (EL 0.10 mm long with 5 ommatidia on longest axis in  P. clypeata ; EL 0.20 mm long with 11 ommatidia on longest axis in  P. janyai ); 3) eye flat (eye convex); 4) head finely punctate with dense shallow foveae (dorsum and lateral face of head finely micropunctate without foveae); 5) in profile petiole slightly longer than high and in dorsal view its node slightly narrower posteriorly (clearly longer than high and in dorsal view node anteriorly as broad as posteriorly); 6) ventral outline of petiole feebly concave (weakly convex) (see Fig. 5 for comparison). </p>

            <p> The new species is similar to  P. janyai but it can be separated from  P. janyai by the following characteristics (characters of  P. janyai in parentheses unless otherwise stated): 1) head weakly widening anteriorly (head not widening anteriorly); 2) dorsal outline of petiole weakly convex (dorsal outline of petiole almost straight); 3) posterior margin of petiolar node without a concavity in the middle (posterior margin of petiolar node with a concavity in the middle): 4) body surface with thin pubescence (body surface with thick pubescence); 5) head longer (CI = 66 in  P. homasawini , CI = 72 in  P. janyai ); 6) antennal scape relatively long, 1/3 of its length extending beyond posterolateral corner of head (clearly extending beyond posterolateral corner of head); 7) eye smaller and flat (EL = 0.17 mm in  P. homasawini ; EL = 0.20 mm and slightly convex in  P. janyai ); 8) seen from back propodeal declivity rounded above (propodeal declivity tapering above); 9) dorsal outline of petiole weakly convex (almost straight). </p>
            <p> Platythyrea homasawini can be easily separated from  P. clypeata by the following characteristics (characters of  P. clypeata in parentheses unless otherwise stated): 1) head in full-face view, posterior margin weakly concave (posterior margin almost straight); 2) antennal scape relatively long, 1/3 of its length extending beyond posterolateral corner of head (antennal scape short, 1/4 of its length extending beyond posterolateral corner of head); 3) clypeus broad (clypeus narrow); 4) eye larger (EI = 15, with 7 ommatidia in  P. homasawini ; EI = 11, with 5 ommatidia in  P. clypeata ); 5) mesosoma relative longer (WL = 2.64 in  P. homasawini ; WL=1.85-2.05 in  P. clypeata ); 6) mesopleuron not demarcated from mesonotum (mesopleuron clearly demarcated from mesonotum by shallow furrow); 7) in profile view, propodeal junction roundly convex (propodeal junction obtusely angulate); 8) in dorsal view, posterior margin of petiole clearly convex (posterior margin of petiole convex with shallow median concavity); 9) lateral face of head entirely micropunctate (lateral face of head areas behind, above and below eye punctate, with dense foveae); 10) gaster superficially shagreened (finely reticulate). </p>
