Based on comments by Conrad Gillett
(pers. comm. HW) relating to both the present photo, as well as one by Robyn Waayers.
"Whilst it is impossible to be sure of the identity from comparison to photographs, I believe that they do represent male
Dinacoma sanfelipe

"1) they appear to lack a distinct third (basal) outer tooth on the anterior tibiae
2) they have acuminate and outwardly directed anterior clypeal angles
3) they have rather distinct elytral striping
4) they are from the type locality of D. sanfelipe"
