The males can be distinguished from superficially similar specimens of P. rudis by characteristics of the male genitalia. In P. brevipenis , the aedeagus is shorter than the abdomen, whereas in P. rudis it is longer than the abdomen. The females of this species can only be credibly identified when they are associated with males from the same locality. Description. Size: Length 8.0 mm; width 3.5 mm . Form: As in Fig. 23 . Color: Cranium and pronotum dark castaneous, antennae, pterothorax, abdomen, and legs testaceous, elytra admixture of castaneous and black coloration. Head: Antennal capitulum lax, antennomeres 9 and 10 triangular, antennomere 11 ovoid; eyes much narrower than frons (EW/FW 30/80). Thorax: Pronotum transverse (PW/PL 170/140); elytral disc sculptured with swellings and large, randomly distributed punctation, elytral interstitial spaces variable in size, smooth and shiny; 1° setae very long, 2° setae often aggregated into small tufts. Abdomen: Setal patches on 3 rd and 4 th sternites; male pygidium scutiform; aedeagus as in Fig. 31 . Natural History. Specimens were collected throughout the year at 800–1,780 m elevation. Collecting techniques involve UV light, beating, and pyrethrum fogging on A. nigrescens and D. mespiliformi . Distribution. This species is known from Ethiopia , Kenya , Namibia , South Africa , and Tanzania ( Fig. 38 ). Etymology. The specific epithet brevipenis is a compound Latin name that stems from brevis (= short) and penis (= male copulatory organ). The name describes the short aedeagus of these beetles.
