Hard to say - I'd need to see more from different angles  |

It looks identifiable but I will have to pass - maybe Theo can suggest something. I have changed the title to attract his attention |

Tja Looks like Voriini and the eyes are hairy, which suggests Hyleorus elatus. Recent picture ? Theo |

In the Central European key it mentions that it is "rare" so that's a good sighting We don't get them in England so I have never seen one but maybe Theo could give some background to this species from his personal experiences? |

Well, it is uncommon but not rare. And often seen in malaisetraps. I have 75 records in total for the Netherlands. Still, a respectable record, I agree. Theo |
