unidentified Meloidae, possibly Ceroctis sp.


I've not been able to find out what species these are. Someone suggested they were probably Mylabris sp. and I can't exclude that possibility. However the closest species I've found to it so far is Ceroctis amphibia. It's not quite the same and anyway that occurs further west, e.g. Namibia, but I suspect it's something closely related. There are also Hycleus species that look quite similar. Let me know if you know.
