HT ♀, WA, Pilbara, 100 km E of Port Hedland, Pardoo Mine, (WGS84) 20°17'19.72"S, 119°10'38.88"E, N. Stevens, 02 Oct. 2007, Trog. Trap (PDRC779-LN743), Western Australian Museum Entomology Reg. no. 82634 (WAM).

Medium sized species (TL mm 2.11), easily distinguishable from G. ethelianus sp. nov. by the discal pore placed towards the elytral edge, and from G. vixsulcatus by the denticulate lateral edge of the pronotum before the basal angle.

TL 2.11 mm. Body elongated, depigmented, testaceous; integument shiny, with evident microsculpture, covered with very sparse and short pubescence.

Head relatively large, narrower than pronotum. Labium bearing a median tooth. Antennae short and delicate, moniliform, just exceeding the base of the pronotum when stretched backwards. Fronto-clypeal furrow slightly distinct; anterior margin of the epistome subrectilinear.

Pronotum subrectangular, slightly transverse (max. width / max. length ratio = 1.05), maximum width at the anterior third, with very wide basal border, slightly wider than anterior border, pronotum sides anteriorly poorly arcuate, and laterally-posteriorly denticulate before the basal angles. Anterior angles obtuse, slightly prominent; posterior angles sub squared not protruding, gently rounded at the vertex. Disc slightly convex, with very sparse and short pubescence; median groove very shallow, faintly marked. Marginal groove relatively wide and flat, very enlarged near the base; anterior marginal setae inserted inside marginal groove, approximately on the anterior fifth; basal setae inserted approximately on the posterior angles.

Legs long and slender, with metatrochanters normal and metafemora unarmed.

Elytra subrectangular, very elongated (max. length/max. width ratio = 1.92), maximum width at the anterior 3^rd, slightly emarginated before apex. Disc poorly convex; integument shiny, with evident microsculpture and very short, sparse and upright pubescence. Humeri hardly marked, almost right; post-humeral margin denticulate, with distinct crenulations up to the 9^th pore of the umbilicate series; elytral apices not separately rounded. Marginal groove wide and evident up to the 8^th pore of the umbilicate series.

Chaetotaxy: scutellar pore large, foveate. Umbilicate series with 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd pores of the humeral group almost equidistant; 4^th pore slightly displaced onto the disc and clearly farther from the 3^rd pore, placed at the end of the basal third of the elytron; 5^th pore placed just after the middle length of the elytron; 5^th and 6^th ones spaced out ca. the 1/3 of the distance from 6^th and 7^th; 7^th, 8^th, and 9^th not equidistant, 8^th and 9^th pores closest, 8^th pore located after the 9^th one; 8^th slightly displaced onto the disc. One single discal seta laterally placed towards the edge, at the level of the 9^th pore.

Male. Unknown.

The name of the species comes from the type locality Pardoo, in the Pilbara region (WA).

Gilesdytes pardooanus sp. nov. is known only from the type locality (Pardoo Mine), 100 km E of Port Hedland, Pilbara, WA.
