Moved from ID Request.

The detail that is necessary for the id is not visible: Very long setae at apex of most antennomeres, as long as adjacent antennomeres.
Last antennomere abruptly flattened midway and slightly curved. (2)
edges of mid-pronotal callus generally not sharply defined (1)

ID
Although we cannot see the apical antennomere or the long setae, the thoracic umbone matches as it is rounded and not distinctly delimited as seen in thermophilus or femoratus
