Definitely Gymnosoma but I can't go any further than that because they are a very difficult genus - even with a specimen. The genitalia and the degree of dusting on the frons and the thorax are all very significant features when making an identification  |

AS Chris rightly put it, difficult to tell. It does not look like rotundatum, more likely either clavatum or dolycoridis. However, this is guesswork and not science. In any case, a male. Theo |

This is definitely NOT rotundatum, but either dolycoridis or maybe clavatum. It helped, but the conclusion remeans the same. Theo |
