I think this one is Ancistrocerus sp. Is it possible to tell which species is is? I saw it on July 29th on our hotel wall in the middle of Bergherbos, Netherlands, which is woodland on sandy soil.

Thanks in advance!

Ancistrocerus is correct, but species recognition is not possible. The most common A. nigricornis is not excluded.
