I am baffled, stunned, i believe that the upper one is a female, note the difference with the lower one, the strange peculiar hypopygium....reminds me of some Heteropogon species.... but it is not that......i am pretty sure it is not Laphystia regarding antennae, but belongs to another subfamilily, Brachyrhopalinae (Dikow 2009). At this moment i dare not say what genus even..... need to study....:-)
