Definitely Ceratognathus Parrianus. I'm not so sure about the gender, though.

Mitophyllus parrianus is the most common and widespread and probably the largest  Actually Parry erected the Mitophyllus genus in 1843 for M. irroratus another common species which was later synonimised under Cerratognathus. M. parrianus and other former NZ Cerratognathus where placed under Mitophyllus in 2007 by Beverly Holloway. However they remain under the Tribe Ceratognathini and sub-family Aesalinae NOT Nicagus sorry  M. alboguttatus - M. angusticeps - M. arcuatus - M. dispar - M. falcatus - M. foveolatus - M. fusculus - M. gibbosus - M. insignis - M. irroratus - M. macrocerus - M. parrianus - M. reflexus - M. solox. |

gender difference uneasy to ID the gender if without a compariation of a male and female see them together.  |
