Material examined. Holotype ♀ - Pakistan: Tharparkar distr. , Mithi, 18.IX.2012 ( CPG).
Diagnosis. A Conoderus Eschscholtz, 1829 immediately distinct from the species of the region for the cylindrical body, the larger size and the uniformity of body patterns.
Description.
Female. Moderately shiny; entirely dark-ferruginous with very dense and short yellowish pubescence that hides the colour of the integuments.
Head with the eyes as wide as the anterior margin of pronotum, frons convex with the anterior margin regularly arcuate; punctuation uniformly distributed, punctures deep, simple, approximately of the same size, with very short, shiny inter vals.
Antennae mutilated (only five articles of the right antennae are present); second and third articles subcylindrical and subequal in length, taken together as long as fourth, fourt -fifth subconical, elongate.
Pronotum 1,15x longer than wide, widest be hind the middle and at the apices of the posterior angles, strongly convex with a very short, narrow and shallow mid -longitudinal depression on the basal slope; sides nearly perfectly parallel from the base to nearly the anterior margin, posterior angles short, not acute, not divergent with a very short and few visible carina subparallel to the lateral margins, the latter visible in a dorsal view only in the first third; punctuation uniformly distributed; punctures approximately of the same size, deep, simple, with intervals shiny and on average a little smaller than their own diameters.
Scutellum rounded, convex, very finely punctured.
Elytra 2,08x longer than pronotum and as wide as it, convex; sides subparallel in the first half then very gradually tapering to the apices, striae well marked and punctured; interstriae subconvex, very finely punctured.
Fourth tarsal article with a narrow lamella as long as the article.
Male. Unknown.
Size. Length 7.1 mm; width 2.18 mm.
Etymology. The name is derived from the cylindrical shape of the body of the species.
