Hi,
This is a species of Anthribidae, related to the true weevils.
This might be Platyrhinus resinosus.

Have you found out what sort of Weevil it is yet, let us know when you do please. Very nice find, thanks for sharing.

This looks really interesting. It's head is reminicent of the Tiger beetles and with those jaws and eyes it's definitely a hunter. The best place to get an ID is the Natural History Museums Bug Forum. It has never let me down yet.
