EDIT: Ancistrocerus catskill - male
Very similar to A. adiabatus, but this latter species always has a full yellow stripe on metanotum, rather than two spots like this specimen. A. adiabatus is also distinctly more slender, with urotergite I almost as long as broad.
The female you posted previously made me realize my mistake. I'm really sorry for this countertime. Ancistrocerus is really a tough genus, and males are still more difficult than females.
