Moromorpha tetra
for sure.
You can read description for genus Moromorpha here (1) (on pg.163) and you can see the
'Small flat spine on each side of pronotum arising at posterior angle and projecting over the corium'
(compare to fig.1, pg.165) and Moromorpha is a monotypic genus,

well, -projected over the corium- or -projected over the clavus to the corium- (or my English?) but I'm sure for ID

Thank you Iustin!
I appreciate your ID, explanation, and the reference provided. I had not noticed the "Small flat spine on each side of pronotum.", but they are clearly visible here once the image is enlarged. Cool!
