Aegolipton reflexa (possibly!)
I must qualify that I am no expert on Hawaiian cerambycidae, but...
Aegolipton reflexa seems to be quite close:

And it is the only prionine on the Hawaiian cerambycid list:

Anyone more familiar with Hawaii's fauna care to confirm?

Aegolipton reflexa (possibly!)
Thank you for the information. All the years we have lived here (57 years), this is the first time we have seen this beetle. Still doing a little research, but mahalo for the headstart.
