looks more like Falsomordellistena pubescens to me
in any case, not closely related to Glipa

Moved from ID Request.

Mordellistena masoni
actually I prefer M. masoni for this one. The two sp. look very similar (might yet be same) except for the small "spots" in between the bars (seen on your second image, not the moth scales on this one).
