Dichtha

The white-legged toktokkies (genus Dichtha) are ground-dwelling, Afrotropical beetles in the family Tenebrionidae.

Like the related genus Psammodes, the adults tap out a rhythm on the ground to attract and locate mates.

[4] The species include:[5] A catalogue of the Sepidiini tribe from 2019[5] considers Dichtha incantatoris Koch, 1952 a nomen nudum and therefore invalid.

A likely source of this erroneous name is the popular Field Guide to Insects of South Africa by M Picker, C Griffiths & A Weaving.

Specimens identified under this name are likely Dichtha cubica (see this explanation by iNaturalist curator Riaan Stals).
