Pachnoda iskuulka Král, Sommer Sípek, new species from the Sanaag region of north-eastern Somaliland is described.

Relevant diagnostic characters (e.g., dorsal and ventral surface color pattern, male external genitalia) are illustrated. The third instar larva of the new species is described and biological notes are provided.
