Hello everyone.

Photo taken in the region of Umbria in Italy (480m asl) 2 weeks ago.

Can you identify the species?

Thanks.

This seems to be a Neomochterus species, female. Maybe N. fuscifemoratus??? Got that from Engel 1930 so maybe it has a new name

Because of the chaetotaxy on the mesonotum, it can be also a Cerdistus species. Unfortunately, the differentiation isn't easy and you need both sexes for identification.
