Sorry, cannot help. Certainly a Curculionoidea, but not automatically Curculionidae, which makes it not really easier. Might also be Dryophtoridae. Looks like some of the Bamboo Weevils. https://www.flickr.com/photos/itchydogimages/7423664734/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/itchydogimages/9712287443/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/itchydogimages/11127089674/

Hi Audie, thank you for the ID suggestion, my initial thought was also Cyrtotrachelus longimanus but the images on the web appear to have different markings. I've added another image from the same location on a different day that shows the back of the beetle more clearly. Thank you again. http://sinobug.tumblr.com/post/56752284956/bamboo-weevil-cyrtotrachelus-longimanus http://www.flickriver.com/photos/dioleung/sets/72157608255744791/
