Cycad Weevil (Homalocerus sp.)

Found at Ecolodge Itororó reserve, in/near Nova Friburgo municipality in state of Rio de Janeiro in southeastern Brazil.

 

Homalocerus lyciformis (Germar, 1833), I believe. It seems to have elytral apex obliquely truncate. Confirmation/correction appreciated.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
