This new species is similar to Hemilepistus taftanicus Kashani, Sari & Hosseini Ostavani, 2010 by pereonites 1 and 2 equipped with a row of bulbous tubercles along posterior margins. But it can be distinguished from the latter by the head with three large tubercles, the pereonite 3 with a smooth posterior margin (Fig. 1 A, B), and the male pleopod I endopodite equipped with four small spines at the apical tip (Fig. 2 F).

E759432E543FFFC7FF75D092FC1BFE63.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin conicus = conical, in reference to the species that has well-developed conical tubercles on the dorsal surface of the head and pereonites 1 and 2.	en	Wang, Jin, Hong, Xinkai, Li, Weichun (2022): First record of the genus Hemilepistus (Isopoda: Agnaridae) from China, with description of two new species.

E759432E543FFFC7FF75D092FC1BFE63.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This new species is similar to Hemilpistus rhinoceros Borutzky, 1958 by pereonites 1 and 2 with conical tubercles directed upwards on tergite 1 and backwards on tergite 2. But it can be distinguished from the latter by the largest tubercle on the dorsal side of the head situated in a lateral position, and pereonite 3 with six to seven tubercles on the lateral area (Fig. 3 A, C). In H. rhinoceros, the largest tubercle of the head is situated in the median position, and the smooth pereonite 3 without tuberosity (Lincoln 1970).	en	Wang, Jin, Hong, Xinkai, Li, Weichun (2022): First record of the genus Hemilepistus (Isopoda: Agnaridae) from China, with description of two new species.
