Species of Platythyrea

Brown (1975) provides a key to Platythyrea species that is only slightly outdated due to the subsequent description of two additional species, while De Andrade (2004) provides a key to New World Platythyrea, including both extant and fossil species. In the species list below (and throughout this publication) only the country of the type localities is given.
