Konradus leehermani Chani-Posse & Ramírez-Salamanca, 2020: 241–243 (description, figures, distribution, phylogeny); Chani-Posse et al. 2022: 66 (phylogeny); Chani-Posse et al. 2024: 118, 122 (phylogeny); Chani-Posse and Rodríguez-Melgarejo 2024: 396, 404, 405 (phylogeny).

Diagnosis.

Konradus leehermani can be identified among other species of Konradus by the following combination of characters: antennomeres 7–8 elongate, the distance separating the medial interocular punctures on the frons not more than twice the distance separating the medial punctures from the lateral punctures, the head wider than the pronotum at its widest point, and the pronotum narrowed posteriad.

Description and distribution.

As in Chani-Posse and Ramírez-Salamanca (2020).
