@SachinZaveri - Changed the date. Thanks for the advice..!
@AshishNimkar - I added the subspecies to the scientific name. ty for the link..!
I found one entry very similar to the one I have in this picture. But it;s scientific name is nowhere else on Google - Pimelia Granulicollis is showing me irrelevent results.

Hi Dario, thanks for the ID; but are you sure about the classification? Because when I read the Wikipedia page about Eleodes Obscurus, it says that they are found from southern British Columbia to northern Mexico and east to Texas, Kansas and Wyoming. I found this one in Rajasthan, that is west India. Also, the Google images for this beetle show vertical linings on its back, which are not on this one. Well, you might be right and I'm no expert in this matter; but I was just making sure.
SatyenMehta thanks for the ID..!
