Peltonotus gracilipodus Jameson & Wada, 2004 Figs 26, 62, 77

Diagnosis (male and female).

Length 14.4-16.8 mm, color overall castaneous, elytra castaneous with weak iridescent bloom, head with some multisetigerous punctures, labrum deeply bi-lobed, mentum rounded in apical half (Fig. 26), labial palpomere 2 enlarged and obviously dorsoventrally flattened (Fig. 26), mala with lamellate setal brush, maxillary stipes with some setae curled at apices, male protibia bidentate, form of parameres (Fig. 62), female epipleuron incised and with oblong-oval emargination (Fig. 77).

Distribution.

Indonesia, Sumatra Island.

Remarks.

Peltonotus gracilipodus and Peltonotus podocrassus (distributed in peninsular Malaysia) have quite similar male parameres and females have quite similar epipleura, perhaps indicating recent isolation of ancestral populations.
