New genus Punctodensus is described. The genus is established on the basis of two species : P. bifoveatus and P. indicus collected from North West Ghats, Maharashtra state. In India Chalcolepis CANDEZE, 1857, Eumoeus CANDEZE, 1957 and Tetrigus CANDEZE, 1857 are reported from the subfamily Hemirrhipinae. The Punctodensus is separated from the above genera by having single and dense punctation; second antennomere distinctly shorter than third and presence of tibial spurs. The genus name is based on dense punctation on the body.
