Diagnosis (male and female).

Length 17.6-18.7 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. 29), labial palpomere 2 enlarged and obviously dorsoventrally flattened (Fig. 29), mala with lamellate setal brush, maxillary stipes lacking setae curled at apices, male protibia bidentate, form of parameres (Fig. 62), female epipleuron incised and with oblong-oval emargination (Fig. 77).

Distribution.

Remarks.

Peltonotus podocrassus and Peltonotus gracilipodus (distributed in Sumatra) are similar with respect to the male parameres and female epipleura. This may be indicative of recent divergence from a common ancestor.
