Just to comment, both Molobratia and Saropogon belong to the Dasypogoninae and do have a similar spur on front tibiae. On this picture the spurs are clear for Molobratia: http://libellchen.deviantart.com/art/Molobratia-Teutonus-187984979

Molobratia has much thinner and longer legs and has red antennae.

In Engel Molobratia is described as Dasypogon teutonus!

On this picture.

The difference between Dasypogon and Saropogon is that the mystax in Dasypogon almost reaches the antennae and in Saropogon only coveres the lower part of the face. I think we can see that....this is a Saropogon species.
