This does resemble some images identified as Hypocisseis nigrosericea in iNaturalist and ALA, but it doesn't have the heavily sculptured head and pronotum typical of Hypocisseis.

I agree with you Kimberi. There are a number of Diphucrania species that look similar to this so I’m happy sticking with that genus
