Hi Pentti,

Henrik is right: it is similar to Allophorocera ferruginea.
However, it is much too golden yellow.
The eyes are really bare and the humerals again in a triangle.

So Allophorocera is OK, but it is A. rutila.

That is most exciting indeed, since this species is extremely rare all over the Palaearctic, from Switzerland to Japan. I got myself one from Estonia, which is of course relatively close to Finland.

This might be even a first one for Finland ! You need to check this. However, fauna-eu is down at the moment.
