Comments: This specimen is similar to the
type
in general aspect; however, the discoidal area is narrower (7/8 areolae deep against 8/9), and the paranota are slightly higher than long (L/h: 0.96 against 1.09), and as wide as long. Because I have only one specimen not that greatly different from the
type
, description of a new species cannot be justified.
Penottus
contains nine species distributed in East Asian peninsula and islands such as Borneo and
Philippines
(
Drake & Ruhoff 1961
;
Péricart 1992
). This species was known only from Borneo. This is the first record of a species of this genus in New
Guinea
.
