I'm thinking Aulacorthum solani.
Tough to be positive with pics, with specimens on hand I usually look at things like the tips of the siphunculi to see if they have a couple rows of reticulation and if the antennal tubercles are smooth or rough in texture, but it has the general look of the species.
