Obviously too much "?"...
Actually I also thought about Lamiinae, it looked too small for me, though. Then I took the wrong track marked with "Way to ?"...
Good job anyway!

I appreciate the help, though none of those really seemed to match. I think I may have found the ID though. Psenocerus supernotatus looks pretty darn good to me: http://bugguide.net/node/view/26743

I also would say Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetle. Maybe Cerambycinae? Callidiini?? My closest but only tentative guess might be Phymatodes sp.??? Phymatodes obliquus????
