Loc: Kerala; Aconodes sp...I was thinking, could this be A. affinis?...Breuning's (1940) description is short and I can not make out complete sense, so I would be grateful for any further help

Thank you very much for the clarification and the literature...I'm grateful to you...

"Tubercule" in this case is support of antenna. Both species have no tubercule on elytra.
I send you the revision from Breuning (text in French).

Thank you very much for ascertaining the identity...Breuning (1950) is that a Revision?, If so, can you kindly share PDF in case you have one...

And I did not understand this
quote:
- is shorter and has down tubercula
...does it mean to say subaequalis has tubercle?

Yes, it should be Aconodes affinis (Breuning, 1940) : key (Breuning,1950) talks about " tubercules antennifères très élevés " .

For Breuning, the other species from south India - Aconodes subaequalis (Aurivillius, 1922)- is shorter and has down tubercula (holotype here)
