 Not sure, but remarkably long antenna gives impression of Phaonia longicornis.

 Ole, I just wanted to correct my reply: I mean Ph. angulicornis
As for your doubts.
1. Now we are sure that it is Phaonia.
2. I'll compare your images with museums specimens (we have a large material of Ph. angulicornis and reply again next week.

 I'd say that your Phaonia is not angulicornis.
Female Ph. angulicornis looks as on photo.
