Characters. Micropterous, pronotum depressed dorsally, with rounded lateral edges, median keel distinct in the metazona; tegmina apically broad. Ƥ subgenital plate bilobate, wide-deeply incised; ovipositor weakly curved toward apex; Ƥ VI-VII th sternites not modified; hind femora/pronotum length 3Ƥ: 3.5-4.2; 3 X th tergite with two evident processes, cerci with a spine in distal half and another at apex. Titillators with teeth on apical arms, smooth on basal arms. Colour of lateral lobes of the pronotum is black bordered with a white stripe.

Remarks. The only species known was previously considered to belong to Decorana ( Ragge 1990) , but recently has been included within a subgenus of Platycleis ( Çiplak et al. 2002) ; it does not show the excision on the lateral lobes of the pronotum (typical of Platycleis ) and male cerci bear another spine at the apex. Also the titillators are characteristic.

Distribution. Turkey.

Number of species known (after Çiplak et al. 2002): 1) yalvaci (Demirsoy, 1974) (type species).
