I certainly agree with Apiomerini and Apiomerus. But I am a little bit sceptic about the species Vexillarius. I do not know any report southern to Panama. Besides, the antennae in Vexillarius are usually red (unicolor). In the one above, the antennae are black, with yellow tips and a yellow basal segment. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/154649-Apiomerus-vexillarius Personally I would go with Apiomerus sp. as scientific ID.
