likely M. andrea
this is most likely Mordellistena andreae. With ridges 2,3,2, and the darker color along mid-side and suture of elytra, M. andrea is a likely choice (the species comes in many different color forms, including this one). I wish the 2nd tibia ridge extended a bit further across the face, but for now, let's place it to andreae.
