Hi, Jan! Yes similar but maybe different genera? I see different internal enlargement of metatibia (in mine is preapical) and end of elitra angularly bulging in sutural apices. Body is quite flat, as apparently in triesta in the upper part of your first image.

Canthonini Péringuey, 1900 Madagascar

Aleiantus Olsoufieff, 1947 20 spp
Apotolamprus Olsoufieff, 1947 8 spp
Arachnodes Westwood, 1837 69 spp
Cambefortantus Paulian, 1986 1 sp
Epactoides Olsoufieff, 1947 2 spp
Epilissus Reiche, 1841 1 sp
Madaphacosoma Paulian, 1975 3 spp
Nanos Westwood, 1837 12 spp
Peyrierasantus Paulian, 1976 1 sp
Phacosomoides Martínez et Pereira, 1959 1 sp
Pseudarachnodes Lebis, 1953 3 spp
Sikorantus Paulian, 1976 1 sp

it's always changing
Recently, Madaphacosoma together with three other genera occurring in Madagascar, namely Aleiantus Olsoufieff, 1947, Phacosomoides Martinez & Pereira, 1959 and Sikorantus Paulian, 1976, were synonymized with Epactoides Olsoufieff, 1947 by Wirta & Montreuil (2008).

Ciao a tutti, questo è un Epactoides sp. (Scarabaeinae Epactoidini).
Come notato da Jan, Aleiantus, Madaphacosoma, Sikorantus, Phacosomoides e Peyrierasantus sono tutti considerati sinonimi di Epactoides.
Per la specie devo passare...
