Tetratoma truncorum?
hard to tell from these images, however.
seems to lack the striae of Neomida bicornis

fungus beetle
I believe that it is Tetratoma truncorum. The elytra are punctate and there are no striations. When I review photos from you folks and pick a photo at a similar distance from the beetles that my photos are, the striations are evident on Neomida. When I expand my photos the punctate elytra are obvious. Thank you.
