A specimen from Transvaal, South Africa, 38 mm.
It should belong to the Macrotomini tribe, but I don't have reliable sources on them.
Quentin & Villiers' keys don't help...

I think I have identified this one: Nataloma carmonai Ferreira & Veiga Ferreira, 1952.
Do you know this species? Would you confirm?

I do not personally know this species but I reach the same using the key by Quentin & Villiers.

le nom correct c'est Nataloma carmonai (Ferreira & Veiga Ferreira,1952)!
C'est Q et V qui ont vu juste. Santos Ferreira s'est planté !
carmonai (Ht male) est syn de esquiveli (HT fem) qui est l'espèce type de Nataloma (décrit comme sous-genre de Hovatoma), donc c'est bien Nataloma carmonai la bonne combinaison.
il y a un autre post qui traine avec la même bête mal identifiée comme P. micros (Zimbabwe).

s'il n'y pas de solution c'est qu'il n'y a pas de problème ! akuna matata ....
