This click beetle has nice mottling and unsusual antennae for click beetles. With these distinctive features, can you help ID? Click beetle ID on this site is very tough. Thanks.

I figured out:
Hi!

I found arguments to support my guess:

1. The genus was formerly known as Hemirhipus (what I guess is whar Eric meant)
2. I found a pic of the species fascicularis in elateridae.com, under Hemirhipis (sic!) - which in no doubt the same
3. The species Pherhimius fascicularis is recorded for Florida

The species is placed by Johnson, P.J. (2003) in Agrypninae, tribe Hemirhipini.

regards, Boris

Would someone check, please . . .
. . . whether my guess, with aid of a generic key, might be right:

Pherhimius fascicularis?

It is sure not a Ctenicera, antennae are rather flabellate than pectinate in this one.

regards, Boris

Ctenicera
Maybe a species of Ctenicera, I looked through all the genera of Elateridae in Florida on Google and its the closest one in pattern to yours.
