It´s not the same . . .
. . . but same subfamily (Rhynchophorinae). They all feed on monocots.

regards, Boris

Thanks
for looking Sean. I don't think this is the same, yours seems alot flatter, and the elytra seem to be marked differently, but then again, I am not to good at this, so you could right.
