Was IDed as a Alexander beetle. I think by googling it is a Temognatha, maybe a female Temognatha maculiventris. But the heads are different. Anyone know? thanks

Maybe a Castiarina, Castiarina flavopicta?

Most likely, IMHO, a Castiarina; possibly Castiarina uncata - https://sites.google.com/site/buprestidpages/castiarina-gallery
