It's better to consider it as P. juniperi.
Although the white band is interrupted, the degree of interruption is not so distinct unlike this one .

Moved from Pilophorus laetus.

It looks like Pilophorus laetus...
The description and the figures of Pilophorus in Schuh show that the two species, juniperi and laetus satisfy the condition that the second antennal segment is clavate on the distal third, but laetus is distinguished from juniperi by the interrupted posterior band of white setae on each wing.

However, i am worrying that the estimated size of your bug seems larger than that of the description (length apex tylus-cuneal facture 2.61-2.93 mm).

Pilophorus, a true bug
