The genus Plato Coddington, 1986 is revised and now contains twelve Neotropical species. The male of Plato bicolor (Keyserling, 1886) is described for the first time from the state of Amazonas in Brazil. Three new species are described: Plato omnipraesens n. sp. (♂ ♀) from Brazil and Peru, Plato peruana n. sp. (♀) from Peru and Plato hamatus n. sp. (♂ ♀) from Minas Gerais in Brazil. A new diagnosis is proposed for the females of this genus. Morphological structures and genitalic terminology are discussed. Plato species are described, diagnosed, illustrated, and their geographic distribution is mapped.
