Rhaphium? There is a key in Qilemoge et al. (2019), https://doi.org/1....840.31602 (and see https://biblio.na...ntomologie for many species descriptions).

Thank you John for the reminder! I suddently remember that Rhaphium has also similarly peculiar antennae. I'll take a look at the links! Thank you! :)

I'm guessing this one could be the male one of my previous observation at: https://diptera.i..._id=112040
