Diagnosis. Peltonotus sisyrus is separated from other Sumatran Peltonotus species based on the form of the mentum that is triangular in the apical half (Fig. 9; shared with P. talangensis ); surface of frons and clypeus that is multisetigerous (shared with P. gracilipodus and P. animus ; unisetigerous in P. talangensis and P. cybele ); and the form of the female epipleuron (Fig. 16). Outside of Sumatra, only one additional species, P. deltomentum (from Kalimantan on the island of Borneo) shares the triangular apex of the mentum.
