Another species from Tokpli, Konda. Togo.  Size is 17 mm. Is it possibly to ID it by photo? |

There are several species of Pseudinca. It could be nice to have an aedeagus...

Unfortunately, this beetle is not available for dissection, but I'll do this as soon as I have another portion. Thank you, I hope for your help then.

This is a male specimen from the same locality. Head is also visible now, so probably Pseudinca dichroa is a correct ID. The photo of aedeagus is also added. What do you think? Attachments:

Could be, but I am not sure.... It could also be P. macgillavryi, of which I have seen several specimens from the same area in Togo as your specimens.

Yes, you are right, P. macgillavryi is very similar habitually. Are there any other specific characters to distinguish these two species? I finally got a copy of the corresponding volume of Beetles of the world. There are head drawings for both species, and this also fits P. dichroa better. Frons(?) are with sharper side angles in P. macgillavryi. I place both drawings here. Attachments:
