I'd say Rhaphium.

Thank you Paul, that was precisely the other genus I was thinking of, based in part on the look of the antennae.

Rhaphium sp. male

Looks interesting. For identification of the species I need a pinned specimen.

Thanks Stefan. I'll send some specimens to Patrick Grootaert, but if you want I'll try to find more for you.
