Looks like a perfect match in Yanega
to fig 302, Aegomorphus quadrigibbus - in the guide here

When walking the antennae alm
When walking the antennae almost touch the surface of whatever it is walking on! the head appears like the antennae are too heavy making the head look like a "bobble head" side to side movement on the prothorax while moving about. The prothorax looks like a little dog collar with spikes all around it.

 
Cute:-)
I love your description. This is a nice find, too, as this species is not all that common from what I understand.
