Amphicerus
Sure looks like Amphicerus. Dillons (1) illustrate Amphicerus hamatus, the Apple Twig Borer, 6-12 mm. Only male has the elytral spines, they say.
See also Oklahoma State University.
Nearctica.com lists 4 species.
Beetles of Florida lists A. hamatus and A. cornutus. Of the latter, here are some images.

Thanks! If I find a key, perhaps I can get it to species from the photo, as I did not collect it.
