Thanks Dennis and Guy for all the help.

Am placing at genus level for now, until a consensus is reached from the experts commenting.

Crossidius coralinus
This is Crossidius coralinus, which has many different localized subspecies. Family Cerambycidae, subfamily Cerambycinae, Tribe Trachyderini.

 
Wow
This was a while ago! I now agree with C. discoideus and with the length of the antennae, this would be a female.

 
The lack of lateral tubercule
The lack of lateral tubercules on the pronotum means that this is not C. coralinus. It seems to be Crossidius discoideus. Also the pronotum is too polished for C. coralinus.

 
Thanks
for the ID and orders. There was already a page, but I don't think I'll try adding the tribe.
