Believe this should be Rhinophoridae, Stevenia. Quite sure it has to be Stevenia deceptoria, but did not recognize it without the contrasting stripes on the thorax. Steven Falk also describes the orange color on the tip of the 2nd antennae (https://www.flick...710183659/) as seen in the last picture.
