Color: Head, pronotum, scutellum, propygidium, pygidium, elytral suture and apical margin castaneous; elytral disc brown with iridescent bloom. Head: Surface of frons with base sparsely punctate, disc moderately densely punctate; punctures simple, lacking setae or multisetigerous laterally; setae minute (1–5 per puncture) or moderately long (0–1 per puncture). Surface of clypeus densely confluently punctate; punctures simple, multisetigerous laterally; setae minute (1–5 per puncture) or short laterally (0–1 per puncture). Clypeus laterally weakly bowed, apex truncate, corners square, beaded; bead weakly arcuate posteriorly. Labrum broadly emarginate at middle. Mandible obliquely quadrate, apex truncate, inner apex with 2 teeth. Mentum with apical half rounded (Fig. 21), notched at middle; palpomere 2 simple (not dorsoventrally flattened or expanded; lacking abundant, thickened or curled setae), subequal in width to palpomere 1. Maxilla: mala without lamellate setal brush; stipes without dense, long setae (setae simple, not flattened or curled at apex); palpomere 2 lacking internomedial bump. Antennal club slightly longer than segments 2–7. Pronotum: Bead lacking anterior to scutellum. Surface moderately densely punctate; punctures simple, lacking setae. Lateral margin lacking long setae. Elytral sutural length: About 3.3 times length of scutellum. Elytra: Surface with 5 poorly developed, punctate, longitudinal striae between suture and humerus; punctures ocellate, moderate in size, moderately dense, lacking setae. Intervals similarly sculptured. Epipleuron in ventral view not expanded, not deeply incised at apex; in dorsal view lacking expansion (Fig. 54). Propygidium: Surface shagreened and moderately densely punctate (disc) to densely confluently punctate (laterally); punctures simple, lacking setae or unisetigerous at apex; setae short (0–1 per puncture), tawny. Pygidium: Surface densely punctate; punctures shallow, simple, unisetigerous or lacking setae; setae minute. Venter: Prosternal keel elongate; apex projecting anteriorly at about 90° with respect to ventral plane, produced to about 1/2 of protrochanter, truncate. Legs: Foreclaws 1/2 length of foretarsomere 5, claws angled toward venter. Meso and metatibial claws with 2 setae, claws angled toward the venter, about 1/2 length of metatarsomere 5. Paratype (1 female). Differs from the female holotype in the following respects. Length 21.0 mm. Widest width 10.1 mm. Color: Elytral dark brown. Head: Punctures lacking setae. Pygidium: Punctures lacking setae. Diagnosis. Only female specimens are known for the species. This species is easily recognizable due to its large size (over 20 mm), brown elytra, and simple epipleuron (Fig. 54). Peltonotus kyojinus is separated from its congeners by the following characteristics: labrum broadly emarginate at middle; mandible obliquely quadrate, apex truncate; mentum with apical half rounded, palpomere 2 simple (not dorsoventrally flattened or expanded; lacking abundant, thickened or curled setae), subequal in width to palpomere 1; maxilla without lamellate setal brush; stipes without dense, long setae (setae simple, not flattened or curled at apex); maxillary palpomere 2 lacking internomedial bump. Etymology. The specific epithet “ kyojinus ” is taken from the Japanese word “kyojin” which means “giant”, referring to the large size of this species. Distribution (Fig. 66).

Mentum with apical half rounded, notched at middle; palpomere 2 dorsoventrally flattened, about 2.5 times width of palpomere 1, setose; setae dense, moderately long, rufous, weakly thickened, some setae curled at the apex. Maxilla (Fig. 8): Mala with dense lamellate setal brush; stipes with setae dense, long, not flattened at apex, some curled at apex; palpomere 2 with internomedial bump. Antennal club slightly longer than segments 2-7. Pronotum: Bead lacking anterior to scutellum; anterior bead incomplete at middle. Surface moderately densely punctate; punctures simple, lacking setae. Lateral margin lacking long setae. Elytron: Sutural length about 4.0 times length of scutellum. Surface with 5 moderately developed, punctate, longitudinal striae between suture and humerus; punctures ocellate, moderate in size, moderately dense, some multisetigerous at apex; setae minute (1-20+ per puncture). Intervals similarly sculptured. Propygidium: Surface shagreened and moderately densely punctate; punctures simple, unisetigerous; setae moderate in length, tawny and rufous.

Venter: Prosternal keel elongate; apex projecting anteriorly at about 90 o with respect to ventral plane, extends to about 1/2 height of protrochanter, truncate. Legs: Protibia (Fig. 24) of male tridentate (basal tooth obsolete); lateral margin with short, dense setae. Protarsomere 5 subequal in length to tarsomeres 1-4, greatly thickened; protarsomeres 3-4 with apices expanded, dorsal and ventral apices of tarsomeres 1-4 clothed dense, short setae. Anterior claws with inner claw broadly curved, about 3 times thicker than outer claw; outer claw elongate-arcuate, about 1/2 the length of inner claw; empodium bulbous at base. Meso- and metatibial claws of male with 2 setae, claw angled toward venter, about 3/4 length of metatarsomere 5. Metatibia of male with apical spurs nearly straight; ventral spur produced to middle of metatarsomere 1, dorsal spur produced to middle of metatarsomere 2. Parameres: Fig. 17 a-b. Diagnosis. Peltonotus animus is most similar to P. silvanus Jameson and Wada, but it is distinguished based on the following characters: mala with setae curled at the apices (Fig. 8) (not curled in P. silvanus); pronotum lacking setae laterally and apically (multisetigerous laterally and apically in P. silvanus); elytral sutural length 4.0 times length of scutellum (3.2 times length of scutellum in P. silvanus); elytra with 5 moderately developed, punctate striae (7 striae in P. silvanus); propygidium with simple, unisetigerous punctures (multisetigerous with minute and long setae at apex of propygidium in P. silvanus); pygidium multisetigerous only at apex (pygidium entirely multisetigerous in P. silvanus, with minute and long setae); and form of the male genitalia (Fig. 17 a-b). Peltonotus animus is easily separated from other species in the genus based on the form of the male genitalia (Fig. 17 a-b), form of the mouthparts (labial palpomere 2 greatly enlarged, maxilla with lamellate setal brush [Fig. 8], and maxillary stipes with long setae, some of which are curled at the apex [Fig. 8]), and protibia tridentate with basal tooth obsolete (Fig. 24). Etymology. The specific epithet “ animus ” is derived from the Latin “ anima ” meaning soul or life, in reference to the cultural traditions of the Minangkabau cultural group in West Sumatra. The Minangkabau cultural beliefs were derived from “animism”, and remnants of those beliefs still exist in the region. Animism refers to the belief that non-human entities, such as animals, plants, and natural phenomena can have souls. Often these entities must be placated by offerings in order to gain favors. We name this species in reverence to the forest spirits in the Minangkabau region. Distribution (Fig. 25). Central Sumatra, Indonesia. Locality records (1 specimen) from WADA (deposited in WADA). INDONESIA (SUMATRA). West Sumatera Province (1): Bukittinggi. Temporal Data. July (1). Remarks. Based on its distribution, P. animus is probably sympatric with P. gracilipodus Jameson and Wada and P. cybele. We considered that P. animus could be associated with P. cybele (known only from one female), but the form of the mouthparts clearly indicate that these are different species. In the key to species (Jameson and Wada 2004), P. animus keys most closely to P. malayensis Arrow because some setae on the maxillary stipes are apically curly. However, the form of the male genitalia indicates that these are two distinct species.Published as part of Jameson, Mary Liz & Wada, Kaoru, 2009, Five new species of Peltonotus Burmeister (Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae: Cyclocephalini) from Southeast Asia, pp. 1-16 in Insecta Mundi 2009 (102) on pages 4-6, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.516788
