Dimensions. According to Sallé (1850), length 9–19 mm, width 2.5–5 mm.

Distribution. Pteroplatus variabilis is known from Venezuela ( Sallé 1850) and Colombia ( Pascoe 1866).

Types. Pteroplatus variabilis was described based on syntypes (gender and number of specimens examined not indicated), deposited at MNHN.

Remarks. We did not examine specimens of this species. However, as in all species of Pteroplatus , the color is variable, especially on the elytra.

Pteroplatus variabilis is one of the species without small gibbosities on the distal area of the elytra, which is only slightly widened from the midlength. The tuft of long setae of the antennomeres III–V is distinct only on distal third or quarter.
