Moved
Moved from True Bugs. Hairy antennae separate it from Euthochtha.

Mamurius ?
Not an expert.

No! Euthochtha?

I looked through some of the images in Genus Euthochtha, but I am far from an expert. I just can't be confident of a match. Hmmm...

 
Euthochtha or Piezogaster.
Females of those two genera are tough to tell apart superficially.
