Discoderus ...
but, despite my research expertise on Discoderus, I am hesitant to give a definite species identification based on images. Large size, pronotum shape, and location does seem to favor D. robustus. What do your think?

What do I think?
I think I just got lucky guessing the genus... :-)
Now I am scared to push my luck beyond that.
Thank you Peter!
