For Anthribidae, the base of the pronotum is normally about the same width as the base of the elytra.

In my opinion, this looks like a Mesosini, perhaps close to Planodes. A nice specimen. You should send the photo to Yamasako.

At first I thought it is the Xenocerus sp of Anthribid too! However, on closer examination, there is no antebasal carina on the pronotum, the antennae are not inserted along the rostrum but at the eyes, all these pointing it to Cerambycid, not Anthribid!

a Lamiinae of course (very special), but I don't believe a Planodes !
