Literature.
P. impressifrons
: Schimmel (1993)
: original description; Schimmel (1996a): taxonomic note.
Remark.
In the original description of this species, Schimmel (1993) classified it tentatively in
Penia
. Later (Schimmel 1996a), he mentioned that
P. impressifrons
most probably belongs to
Pectocera
Hope, 1842
. After the detailed examination of the
type
material of
P. impressifrons
and
Ceroleptus sulcatus
, also described from northern
Vietnam
, we conclude that they are conspecific. Therefore, we herein synonymize
Penia impressifrons
Schimmel, 1993
with
Ceroleptus sulcatus
(
Fleutiaux, 1903
)
.
