Material examined. BRAZIL. Amazonas : Presidente Figueiredo, Cave Maroaga (1°56'6"S, 59°25'19"W), 10♂, 15♀, 25.xi.2013, B. T. Faleiro et al. col. ( UFMG 18217 , SEM); GoogleMaps 5♀, 06.v.2006, V. R.

Diagnosis. Males of Plato bicolor present a digitiform conductor apophysis (fig. 5B), similar to P. ferriferus (fig. 9C), but are distinguished by the elongated apophysis base and by having a distal sulcus (fig. 5D). Females of P. bicolor are recognized by the ventrally projected rectangular dorsal plate (fig. 6C, F) and projected and strongly sclerotized transversal groove in the epigynal plate (fig. 6B, D), occupying half of the ventral area of the plate (fig. 6B).
Description. Male (UFMG 18210). Carapace, sternum, and legs light brown. Chelicerae, labium and endites brown. Abdomen grayish, length: 1.2. Total length: 2. Carapace length: 0.9. Clypeus height: 0.3. Sternum: 0.5 in length and width. Eyes: AME 0.12; AME-AME 0.03; ALE-PLE contiguous (0.05 each); PME-PME separated by 0.06 (PME 0.07). Legs: I femur 1.35/ patella 0.42/ tibia 1.15/ metatarsus 0.76/ tarsus 0.58/ total 4.26; II 1.2/ 0.5/ 1.15/ 0.8/ 0.58/ 4.23; III 0.84/ 0.32/ 0.6/ 0.48/ 0.44/ 2.68; IV 1/ 0.32/ 0.64/ 0.52/ 0.4/ 2.88. Palp. Median apophysis with a very curved and sclerotized tip (fig. 5F). Embolus with a bifid distal apophysis (fig. 5C, F), flattened and hyaline at the tip, covered by the large conductor (fig. 5B, D). Abdomen oval.
Female (UFMG 18210). Coloration as in male. Abdomen oval, length: 1.77. Total length: 2.6. Carapace length: 1.15. Clypeus height: 0.18. Sternum: 0.58 in length and width. Eyes: AME 0.09; AME-AME 0.04; ALE-PLE contiguous (0.07 each); PME-PME separated by the diameter of 1 PME (PME 0.08). Legs: I femur 1.32/ patella 0.48/ tibia 0.94/ metatarsus 0.8/ tarsus 0.54/ total 4.08; II 1.2/ 0.46/ 0.84/ 0.56/ 0.48/ 3.54; III 0.88/ 0.36/ 0.6/ 0.45/ 0.46/ 2.75; IV 1.05/ 0.36/ 0.8/ 0.58/ 0.5/ 3.29. Epigynum. Dorsal plate posterior to spermathecae (fig. 6D). Epigynal plate,with tapered and projected lateral margins (fig. 6B). Well-marked central pore, transversal groove, and support (fig. 6B).
Variation. 10 males: total length: 1.6–2; carapace: 0.7–1; femur I: 1.12–1.35. 10 females: total length: 2.34– 2.6; carapace: 0.97–1.15; femur I: 1.31–1.5.
Distribution. Known only for Caverna Maroaga and Gruta da Judéia, both in Presidente Figueiredo, state of Amazonas, Brazil (fig. 23).
