Strictly speaking, no.  Amphiplatyan: both articular faces flat;
Platycoelous: one side flat, one side concave.  Thus I should have said
"procoely grades into platycoely and then into amphiplaty."  however, in
practice, the delineation between amphiplaty and platycoely is not always
clear - the terms are occasonially used interchangeably.

Maybe you should stop banging your head on the keyboard - that won't help
your mental acuity.  Probably just give you a headache.
