Abstract: A new species of Platyplastinx Enderlein, 1937, Platyplastinx ibanezbernali sp. nov., is described from Ecuador based on morphological characters as well as DNA barcodes from male and female specimens. We provide the first brief description of an egg for the genus. Furthermore, this species is included in the key to world species of the genus, and we provide a key to adult males of Platyplastinx from Ecuador.
