Wow! That's very exciting. I didn't collect it unfortunately but I'd be happy to help try and find some more. I think the plant is exocarpus strictus.

It's lacking the characteristic colouration of A. concolor on the elytra. Likely A. porosus, but it's better to get a view of the rear showing the dorsal side of the pygidium as well to exclude A. boisduvalii and A. olivieri.

I don’t think this is a Melobasis. The shape doesn’t look right. I can’t think of anything immediately that it would be so I suspect it may be a new genus. It resembles a Torresita however it doesn’t look right as Torresita doesn’t have the ridging on the elytra so I don’t think it is that genus.
Miranda, did you collect the specimen by chance? Is it possible to get some specimens for ANIC?
Interesting plant it is on. Do you know what that is ?

Interesting! May be one of the superfamily Cucujoidea, but I haven't found a good match.
