two specimens:
first two pictures from Sagyimase, Ghana 8mm
second two pictures from Obouti, Cameroon 8mm

the only difference appears to be the very short circles of
black hairs near the base of the elytra

are they 2 species in the same genus?, male female?

I shall answer my return of RSA if you do not find in the meantime? But I think that yes! See you soon in 20 days

Crossotini, for sure.
The first seems to be Dichostates kuntzeni Hintz, 1912.
I have got the picture of the type but its colours seem to me less definite.
the second one is a Dichostates as well.
