Seems to be another Ocularia (sorry, the photo was taken without a microscope).
Uganda. 4 mm long.
Two species are listed for Uganda at Lamiaires du Monde: O. apicalis and O. grisescens. If it was O. grisescens here, then the beetle in photo below should be new to Uganda, because it has nothing apical. |

Thank you, Francesco. You might be right. Deep and dense punctation with very narrow intervals as well as patches of white pubescence seem unmistakable (I'll add a microscope photo later). Contrary to the description, I only cannot find anything rufous in antennae.
Well, let it be O.cineracea on this stage. |

Certainly it is an Ocularia.
I find some resemblances with O. cineracea Jordan, 1894 but I have got no key after 1950. 
The description of this species from Congo is here, p. 203. |
