Plateros milleri, new species, is described from southeastern Arizona and is placed in the sanguinicollis group on the basis of the orange-red coloration of the pronotum and the twisted structure of the aedeagus. Aedeagal characters are utilized to distinguish this species from its closely related congeners. Figures of the aedeagus and a habitus photograph are presented.
