dear riet,
to me it looks like Lyctus spp.
but to really define you should consult an entomologist –
it’s very hard to tell if it’s a brunneus or cavicollis (now very common)
best regards

Hi Ashley,
1. The L. africanus mostly is little smaller than other Lyctus sp., like
L.brunneus or L.cavicollis. Because the ID of Lyctus could be very tricky, it's
better to consult an expert for Lyctus beetles. I send my samples always to be
sure, to the expert Dr Reiner Pospischil near C
