Dr. Thomas, Jerry's recent post
looks to us like Heterachthes quadrimaculatus. This one looks similar, but the color pattern and especially the antennae look very different. Could it be something completely different?
This has antennae like your Heterachthes ebenus. Is that just a gender difference?

Update: Ah! Found a page that shows the two different kinds of antennae here. Very interesting!
