It's very hard to see any detail in those photos - they are so dark. But it looks like a siphoniine ... possibly
Peribaea or
Actia or something like that, but I'd need to see the side and top views much clearer to be sure :)

Ohh, nice - thanks :D Looks like it would be quite easy to identify with a specimen :)

Very likely Peribaea, given the antennal shape

Yeah, I did a bit of PhotoShopping on the image here and I just couldn't quite see that pair of pleural hairs, so I wasn't 100% sure. :) With a higher resolution image it might have been possible.

Ahh, not exactly - the bristles that would make it a
Peribaea are on the side of the body, behind the head :)
