It is Suillia and I think in this case Andrzej will give you species level (I wonder is it S.gigantea?)

Wonderful species !.
Probably not gigantea Sad.
Look like S. tuberiperda (Rondani) if the mesopleuron is haired or S. flgripes/S.setitarsis Wink.

Another picture where It is possible to see 2 bristles but difficult to me to say if they are on mesopleuron.

No Edith, it is sternopleuron and strong sternopleural seta. Mesopleuron is above and setae (small hairs) on bleu-marked area (posterior margin of mesopleuron).
