"The genus as herein defined contains species that are found in North America, west of approximately 100 degress longitude. In the north they occur in southern Saskatchewan, southern Alberta, and southeastern British Columbia; in the south they extend into northern Baja California in the west, and to the central Mexican highlands to the east"--P. 2.

"The genus Plataea is revised for the first time. The 13 available names represent six species: calcaria (Pearsall), personaria (H. Edwards), ursaria Cassino and Swett, californiaria Herrich-SchaМ€ffer, diva Hulst, and trilinearia (Packard). Two new species are described: pausaniasi from Coahuila, Mexico, and aristidesi from MeМЃxico, Mexico. All species are fully described; keys and photographs are given for the adults and their genitalia. Taxonomic problems within the genus are discussed; sexual and seasonal dimorphism occur in certain species"--P. [1].
