I thiink this could possibly be
a close Machimus relative, Neomochtherus. There are a couple of species in this genus in B.C.

thanks
It could be that. What are the characteristics of that genus?

Looks
Like a female Machimus. In BC the only proven species are callidus, occidentalis and vescus. I have no descriptions of these western species. There is also a Dicropaltum species in BC and this is a possibility as well. In the same Tribe with Machimus.

I've never seen a robber look so relaxed on a leaf before! It's straddling it...
