( Figs. 22, 22a , 81 , 115 , 154 )

Material examined. Holotype (♂) - Pakistan: Islamabad , Sect. 7 (33°43'N, 73°03'E), 600 m, 1- 15.IX.2012, G. Sabatinelli leg., at light ( CPG).

Diagnosis. A species that can be compared to Heteroderes subtilis Jagemann, 1946 for the same size and the general shape but it can be separated by the sides of pronotum perfectly parallel and the lateral margins nearly all invisible in a dorsal view.

Description.

Male. Not shiny; entirely blackish with antennae and legs yellowish; covered with dense, short, recumbent, yellowish pubescence.

Frons flat, anterior margin substraight just protruding above the clypeus, punctures of variable diameters, very dense with very short intervals or contiguous.

Antennae not reaching the apices of posterior angles for about one article, slightly serrated from the fourth article on, the second and third articles subcylindrical and subequal in length, taken together, just longer than the fourth; fourth to tenth subtriangular, the fourth longer than the following, 2.4x longer than wide, fifth to tenth on average 2.2x longer than wide, the last one as long as penultimate, subellipsoidal.

Pronotum 1.07x longer than wide, widest at the middle and at the apices of posterior angles, convex, abruptly sloping at sides and nearly vertically at base; sides perfectly parallel, posterior angles acuminate, not divergent, with a short carina parallel to the lateral margin, this complete, visible only at the base in a dorsal view; punctuation uniformly distributed larger and simple punctures are regularly mixed with very fine punctures with very short intervals.

Scutellum quadrangular, ridged at base, slightly convex, very finely punctured.

Elytra 2.2x longer than the pronotum and as wide as it, convex; sides from the base to the middle subparallel then gradually tapering to the apices; striae well marked and punctured; interstriae subconvex with rough surface.

Fourth article of tarsi with a short and narrow lamella scarcely visible in a dorsal view.

Aedeagus as in Figs. 22, 22a (length 1.00 mm).

Female unknown.

Size. Length 6.30 mm; width 1.81 mm.

Etymology. Dedicated to the Czech entomologist Dr. E. Jagemann who described some species within this genus.
