It's not completely clear in the first photo, but it looks like this may have a
Syntormon-type projection of the second antennal segment into the third segment (first flagellomere)

I think it's
Hercostomus, at least sensu lato.

Dear Mihailo,
I agree with Stefan, it's definitely a Poecilobothrus, but not P. nobilitatus (see pale ventral side of scape = 1st antennal segment).
It's always interesting (read: important) to collect some specimens in order to get a reliable identification.
Cheers,
Marc
