Cedusa maculata
This shot shows nicely the generic character (which is hard to spot): the head has big, earlike lobes that wrap around the antennae - in this photo you see these as white-rimmed black spots beside the eyes. Other Derbids have such protective flaps around the antennae, but in those genera they are lobes of the prothorax.
