Moved from Beetles.

leaning towards Tritoma [over Triplax], but...
...from this angle it's not easy to tell

 
Tritomax
gen. nov. :)

 
from Paul Skelley: "I'm leaning toward Tritoma -
"...small pronotal angle pores.
Also, Triplax are usually more
distinctly punctate, especially on
the elytral intervals.
If it is a Tritoma, the yellowish venter
(see the abdomen)
and somewhat dilated hind tibia
are characteristic of
Tritoma biguttata af-
finis
."
