RSA, Mt. Helderberg, December, 30 mm

Perhaps this will help, even though fuzzy.

Ho paura che non siano precise sulle femmine.

Con le tabelle di Adlbauer non ci si arriva?

I am uncertain between Prosphilus pectinicornis Veiga Ferreira, 1953 and P. serricornis (Dalman, 1817)
Both are present in South Africa.

oui, effectivement, la femelle Prosphilus est tout à fait plausible.

Francesco credo che tu abbia ragione

True; however, body larger, antennae shorter, pronotum with "strange" sculpturing", V antennomere flabellate and not spined, etc. suggest that it is a female of Prosphilus, as this one.

Well, when I think of things like these

No Neoplocaederus-species shows flabellate antennae...
Pierre Posted - 20/05/2015 : 09:15:31
I may be completely out of topic but... the insertion of the antennae has the typical Neoplocaederus-look. I also see spines on the sides of the pronotum. A good vertical sight on pronotum & head could be helpful.
Francesco Posted - 20/05/2015 : 08:36:07
I'd look for Prosphilus...
BillTyson Posted - 20/05/2015 : 00:44:28
I did not collect it so the data may not be good.
I have T. brevipennis and will compare it.
thanks
Carlo Posted - 19/05/2015 : 20:11:37
.... but brevipennis is not from RSA
Carlo Posted - 19/05/2015 : 20:07:16
Maybe Taurotagus.... maybe maybe brevipennis
