Sorry : ( This one is a mystery to me, so she must be female : ) Regarding the ovipositor it would be a Machimus sp. but i have not yet seen a species with an entirely red beard and i can't key it out. A picture of a male would be welcome....and an option is also an entirely different genus.... Engelepogon... but a good view of the pleurae is needed.
Greetings,

If you have collected the creature, please have look at the top of the mesopleuron/anepisternum, check for bristles.

Sorry

I changed my opinion, disregard my remarks on Engelepogon, i just had a closer look at the genus and this one remains closer to Machimus.
