super; thanks all

 
Thank You,
Bill, Blaine and V. I replaced this photo with what I hope is a better one. You can now see the antennae, white spots on elytra, small horn on the head and a better view of the front legs.

Cremastocheilus saucius...probably
Tough to see the characters, but the meso- and metatibia with curved pedunculate bases make this look like saucius and hirsutus. The narrowness of those appendages are more like saucius (range too), however. C. quadricollis have narrow and nearly straight tibae, different pronotum, etc.

 
saucy Bill
:)

and a beautiful one it is...
quadricollis? I don't know. I hope Bill Warner sees it (I am sure Vassili will send the link to Bill)!!!!
