Can you help me with this? It seems to me that it belongs to the family Fannidae but I don't know which characters define this family.

Because of the strong bristles in the thorax?

I'd say not.
I'd say:
1. Because there isn't Fannia with such thorastic pattern
2. If you compare with Fannia gallery - Fanniidae are more soft, more feminine in general impreession.
3. Fannia never has such a strong and such directed setae on hind tibia.
