Yes sir! thank you so much @bayucca and Rob Westerdujin :)

OK, the ID is conformed by Rob Westerduijn. We also find the new name of it: Oligocorynus caciqus and Zonarius cacicus as the synonym. So I changed my suggestion in the actual one. Please, change it as well...

I try to get a confirmation by some experts...

I believe you @bayucca ;) thank you so much!

Erotylidae, Erotylinae, Erotylini, Zonarius cacicus. Should still be a/the valid name, although I did not find any other picture as reference. Have it from a book, you have to believe me... http://insectoid.info/insecta/pterygota/neoptera/holometabola/coleoptera/polyphaga/cucujiformia/cucujoidea/erotylidae/erotylinae/erotylini/zonarius/cacicus/
