Polyglypta sp
Acording to americaninsects.net: "Members of the genus Polyglypta are found from Texas south to Brazil (Godoy et al, 2006). All have a forward-projecting horn that extends well beyond the head, and all lack humeral horns. The species are long and slender. The posterior process is pointed, and extends beyond the wingtips. Viewed in profile, the dorsal line of the punctate pronotum is nearly straight, and has a sharp point at the rear. Polyglypta spp. often are found in groups. In a number of species the females guard the eggs as well as the nymphs (Godoy et al, 2006)." The one on the pic was found alone
