Hi Pierre-Yves,
Yes this is Neossos broersei, very nice find! The easiest way to find this species is by getting the debris off the bottom of a Barn owl (Tyto alba) nest box. Last spring I was able to breed at least a hundred specimens in a month.
Currently I'm finishing a paper with three necrophagous species new for the fauna of France. If you would be interested in that, send me a pm.
Kind regards,
Ectemnius
