actually...
this looks like a clerid to me, something in (or akin to) Phyllobaenus.

The short antennae; large eyes; general body form; and patterned elytral setae all point to a hydnocerine clerid.

Adriean Mayor agrees
While still assuming it was a Melyrid, I emailed Dr. Mayor for confirmation. He replied, "This looks suspiciously like a clerid to me, maybe a species of Phyllobaenus."
