Diuncus conidens (Eggers 1936) comb. n.

Previous genus: Xyleborus

Diagnosis: Short but relatively slender-looking Diuncus, the appearance caused mainly by the prolonged pronotum. Two pairs of dominant spines on the declivity positioned on a low elevated swelling, and a pair (or a group) of tubercles at the tip of elytra. The second spine is almost half-way down the declivity, unlike most other Diuncus, where both spines tend to occur close to declivital summit. Individuals from New Guinea are markedly more slender than the holotype from India. Large tibial spines on all legs.

Length: 1.5–2.0 mm.

Examined material: India, Mysore, Wynaad, (holotype, BMNH); India, Karnataka, Sringeri, (compared to type, BMNH); Malaysia, Sabah, Rhino Ridge, Danum Valley, J. Hulcr 2006; PNG: Madang Prov. (4), West Sepik (2), J. Hulcr 2002–2006.
