Thank you so much bayucca and thanks for the links. I found another reference for Mexico: (http://unibio.unam.mx/irekani/handle/123456789/26174?proyecto=Irekani) from the Pacific Coast State of Colima.
Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Acanthocinini, Nyssydrysina haldemani as losest guess. Please, verify. This guy is very variable the main link should be the best match.
