I believe...
...this is Typocerus velutinus. The transverse yellow markings are well delimited, with only the second one interrupted, and I see no interruption of the basal pubescent band of the pronotum. It's hard to see the lateral elytral margins, but the beetle lacks the generally darker brown, more robust, more strongly tapered appearance of T. deceptus. Compare with this photo.
