I'm going to guess that it is a freshly emerged Lypha dubia

Looks more like Phorocera to me, a female, the abdomen is elongated, the third antennal segment longer Theo |

Ahh, I was wondering about this and the other photos ... the more I looked at the other I thought they might be Phorocera but I thought the abdomen would have been more elongated than this Phorocera is still frustratingly difficult to find over here
