It took me a while,
but going through my files I discovered a remark by Ian Swift, also a photo of a specimen from San Antonio Falls area, San Gabriel Mountains.
Not an Oedemerid after all, but Cortodera falsa.

no idea... resemblance-wise, Rhinoplatia look similar...
...although the head is probably too short
must see plain dorsal

Thanks, Vassili -
I already rejected Rhinoplatia, i.e. pronotum too short, elytra different. I'll just have to get lucky and find this again, take a specimen.
