might be fuscicornis... well, i certainly hope so
spent some time with it --and looks like it keys out [on(1)] to the rather rare and sporadic Ch. fuscicornis; would be a very nice find.
the reflexed pronotal margun looks distinctive.

was the specimen saved, JC? your beast is a male, which means dissection can easily confirm the ID vs the similar erythropus, a more common sp.
tantalizing...

i'm not sure
Do you know the size, or can it be measured? Would want to exclude the smaller C. laticollis first.
