ID needed. A weevil of just under 30mm in length, with extraordinarily long antennae. Found in Tangjung Bungah, Penang, Malaysia.
Probably secondary forest in Penang, Malaysia. Tropical.
ID needed.
Yes, may be Acanthothorax sp. (= Mecocerus, synonym).
A few similar genera exist, can't tell apart here.
All have in common, that males have much longer antennae than females.
Curculionoidea, Anthribidae, Fungus Weevil. Yours is a Long-legged Fungus Beetle. Might be from the genus Mecocerus. But I am not sure.

Maybe female and males have different length of the antennae? If yes, yours could be the same one as this:
