  Haha! The red line reminds me of Eucereon sp., although I don't know any species that look like this one. Maybe it's in another genus in the same tribe, etc.? Posted 4 years ago

    Struggling with this one too. The weird thing is that near the beginning of the antennae there's some faint red as if it touched the other red slightly. Hence the nickname :) Posted 4 years ago

      I did a bit more searching, and it seems that there are multiple genera with the red line at the back of the head. My search was random and I didn't take note of any of the genera involved, so this comment is not particularly helpful-- except to note that Eucereon sp. or even something in the same tribe isn't likely...probably.
