Is it Tropidion batesi Martins 1968?

The shape of pronotum with side humps, the tips of elytra and colour of antennae and legs are completely different from those in Diasporidion duplicatum.

Of course, I have seen this before, my mistake.

It is Stizocera poeyi (Guerin-Meneville, 1838). [Elaphidiini] Both this species and Diasporidion duplicatum are rather common.
