I identify this couple as Sinopachys mandarinus (Gressitt, 1951). It was described in Neocerambyx, but the differences are clearly visible. Interesting microsculpture in elytra for Cerambycini: looks shagreen, like in some Ropalopus. Relatively small: 27 and 29 mm. If the ID is correct, then seems to be a new species for the Forum.
HT picture of Sinopachys mandarinus (Gressitt, 1951) is in LINGAFELTER & AL., 2013. Primary types of Chinese longhorned woodboring beetles of the Smithsonian Institution. Shape of pronotum , apex of elytra fit very well.
China: Sinopachys mandarinus
