This is probably a Cophura sp. (very beat-up!). Check for the pair of 'Cophura spines' on the mid tibial apex.

the antenna is different to Cophura, it's truth?

How big was this specimen? If less than 15mm, it must be a Cophura (from Baja Calif.). Some Cophura have antennae just like your photo (most Cophura, however, do have antennae with a more tapered flagellum and style).

Hi Eric,
This specimes was near one centimeter. I never had seen before this kind of antennae, maybe I dont recognize as Cophura
