Peltonotus animus Jameson & Wada, 2009

Figs 1, 5, 11, 18a–b, 23

Diagnosis. Peltonotus animus (Fig. 1) is distinguished from other Sumatran species of Peltonotus based on the following characters: apex of metatibia in male with longer spur produced to apex of metatarsomere 2 (shared with P. sisyrus; spur shorter in P. cybele, P. talangensis, and P. gracilipodus); mala with setae curled at the apices (Fig. 5) (shared with P. gracilipodus; not curled in P. cybele, P. talangensis, and P. sisyrus); protibia bidentate (Fig. 11) (shared with P. gracilipodus and P. sisyrus; tridentate in P. cybele and P. talangensis); and form of the male genitalia (Fig. 18a–b). Outside of Sumatra, P. animus shares many character states with P. silvanus Jameson & Wada 2004 from Sarawak and Kalimantan on the island of Borneo (see Jameson and Wada 2009).
