NOT D. falli
in my eyes.
This individual must be a male (large antennal club). In D.falli males, the 8th and 9th segments are extremely branched internally (like antlers).
Here, it looks quite normal (similar to pallicornis).

The moderately raised pubescence is neither a feature of falli, nor pallicornis; they both have appressed hairs.

I'm not sure if this is a Dorcatoma, or Byrrhodes.
