Sofala Prov. Mozambique

Any ideas on this nice looking grass-dweller?

Oui ! Très très bonne espèce ! Il s'agit vraisemblablement de Mimassinia orientalis Breuning ! Rare espèce, j'ai un specimen en collection et je n'ai vu qu'un autre ex dans la collection Téocchi et le type qui est à Berlin je crois de mémoire ?
Très bonne espèce !

Seems close to Somatolita neavei Aurivillius, 1915 https://www.flickr.com/photos/nhm_beetle_id/53660487661/

Yes indeed, last year I noted in my files the possibility of a synonymy between Somatolita and Mimassinia, and 15 days ago I asked again for the type of Mimassinia orientalis in Berlin to find out what it is! So to be continued and bravo for this remark which somehow confirms the idea I had. But I'm waiting for the Mimassinia type.
