Morning All, your opinion please: When comparing this specimen with the holotype of Afromolorchus capensis Tippmann, 1959, and specimens in our collection, we note a difference in the markings on the elytra. This difference tends to also be apparent in the males compared to the un-described males of A. capensis. Would one consider this as a sp.nov., or sub-species?
To me - beside the fact that both the holotype and your displayed specimen have a very faint coloration - it could be just a color variation... Do you see any morphological differences?
Can you share the pictures of the other similar specimens if you have ?
South Africa: Afromolorchus
