Peltidae or Melandryidae
Can't say for sure cause the IX abdominal segment is not seen. Peltis larvae have small urogomphi on IX, which are absent in Melandryidae

I scanned Stehr vol 2...
...and couldn't find anything that looked close. One would think that V-shaped marking and curiously expanded pronotum would be diagnostic.

If I had to guess, I'd say something tenebrionoid.
