It looks a bit like Dicranolaius bellulus, but notable difference in colouring of antennae.

I found a few at Woodstock Nature Reserve near Shepherd Lookout as well, it should be Notointybia carvicornis (Lea, 1909).

Thanks for your suggestion, but I can't find any reference to Notointybia carvicornis. Can you please check the spelling?

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/aen.12481. Here is the link to the paper describing the genus Notointybia, members of which were included in Intybia and Dicranolaius before.

Sorry, that link is Dutch to me. Can you give me a more precise reference, to the species, and a photo of the species, with old or new name?
Are you an entomologist?

Yep, I'm working on taxonomy of beetles. Actually I can send you the paper with images, but I don't know how I can do that in this website. And I uploaded a sightseeing of this species with a clearer photo as well just now.

I found a reference to Intybia cavicornis on ALA, no photo tho, was that its old name?

Yes, that's the old name for it. Dicranolaius has combs on the second front tarsomere in male, while Notointybia doesn't and the fore tarsus in male reduced to four segments or has the trace of fusion.
