Goog evening, help me, please, with this beetle.
Nothing does not come to a head... Apatophyseini?
RSA, Kwazulu Natal prov., Kumberland N.R. ~11mm |

It might belong to the Obriini.
Is the first abdominal segment very long? |

| No, no.. Obriini - is wrong idea, in my view. 1 abdominal segment like 2,3 and 4 - equal proportions. |

I have just bought two specimens very similar to this one coming from Madagascar.
This species belongs to Apatophyseini, like Riana rightly supposed.
I do not, if Addoeme actually belongs to Apatophyseini or it is even a synonym of Apatophysis.
The likeness with A. vedica Danilevsky 2008 is strong.
Moreover, describing a new genus of Xystrocerini with pronotal tooth and evident neck is almost very bizarre. |
