Corticariinae
Probably near Melanophthalma, though its difficult for me without a clear view of the pronotum.

Hi Graham,
We had a latridiid expert view these pages a couple years back. With a little effort someone might lure him back. I'll bet he could put a name on this beetle if it was here to view.

Ok
I'll move it back. It isn't the greatest photo, though.
