Could this possibly be Arotes Decorus? I know, I didn't get a great dorsal view.

So...
I can narrow it down to either Arotes, or Spilopteron Genus, since the specimen is too yellow to fit in Coleocentrus.

Placement...
The reason I would leave this under the subfamily is due to the curious lack of antennal banding on this one.
