Anobiid
is my best guess.

 
Bostrichid:-)
I say bostrichid. Anyone want to break the tie? :-)

 
I concede
The bumpy pronotum and the enlarged last three antennomeres do agree with Bostrichidae.

 
Moved to guide.
I moved to the Bostrichidae guide page (this is the agreed-upon spelling, at least in American references...no slight intended).

 
I agree
But I thought the right spelling is Bostrychidae, after the genus name Bostrychus.
Now, it is quite possible that nomenclature has changed...

 
Bostrichid
Thanks everyone.
