Tetratomidae >> Eustrophopsis
I changed my mind. This genus used to be included under Melandryidae but they have now been lumped with the Tetratomidae. It bears close resemblance to this species except for the color of the antennae. This may well be another species in that genus.

from Darren A. Pollock:
"Eustrophopsis (if tibiae grooved) or Synstrophus repandus (if tibiae smooth)"

Tom--
do you happen to have this one in a larger original version? any other angles? 'cuz either way it's an uncommon one (not bicolor) and it would be nice to have it IDed. even the pix you didn't like may help
