there are three lycids in tho
there are three lycids in those mountains that have an all-orange dorsum....the others have black at the elytral apex....

So you're down to Lycus loripes, Lycus simulans and Lycus minutus.
This one is L. simulans as indicated by the black antennae with the first 3 orange, and black tibia....loripes is all orange, and minutus is all orange too but is tiny, only ~10mm long
