Moved tentatively to Megalodacne fasciata
I cannot make out the rows of punctures on the elytra (+ fasciata/- heros) but the width of the lateral pronotal margin looks more like fasciata.

Moved from ID Request.

Megalodacne fasciata
I'm pretty sure as I've had to have this one IDed for myself. I'll let someone else say for sure. M. heros looks incredibly similar.
